I got a question for all you lifted truck guys. What are you using to get your truck off the ground to work on it? Work on brakes, undercarriage, exhaust, suspension, etc.
My floor jack doesn't cut it, not enough lift height to get stands to the frame if I need to work on suspension stuff.

I've used a 4x4 block of wood at times, and I've also invested in taller jack stands. My jack gets just high enough to get a front wheel off the ground, and that's all I've needed it to do so far.

I also have the 4x4 behind the back seat at all times to use with the factory jack, which is crap but I haven't invested in a better one yet.

If anyone has recommendations for a jack to keep behind the seat, let me know. Sorry to hijack

What stands did you invest in? I've had my eye on a couple options from Jeg's

All the other components are compatible. I actually confirmed this with Zone and BDS tech reps before ordering.

After discussing with BDS, I actually ended up adding a preload spacer to the front coil for technically 5" of lift. I wanted to raise the front in lieu of lowering the rear to level the truck after installing the lift. The 4" lift came with a 4" front spacer and a 4" rear block which left it with 1.5" rake. I now have 5/8" rake.
What size tires are you running? Love the look
