Dubs - just wondering what equipment you were using when you had the 2.25" lift in the front? Also, would you mind to post a picture comparing the 2.25" lift vs the 3" lift? Thanks!

im not sure what u mean by equipment, but it was a level spacer by autospring. so after i installde the coilovers, i realized the advertised 2" autospring actually lifted the front end just under 2". my last 2010 platinum truck with the same kit lifted the truck just over 2.5". this is what motivated me to get coilovers. i was looking to lift the entire truck, not just level the front. i was still a little too low in the front for my liking. here are the 2 in simular positions

I noticed the manufacturer of the fog lights you put in also make headlight replacements. are these heads/fogs designed differently than most, or are they still the kind that people yell at you for putting in stock head/fog housing?

Led conversion kits for headlights or fog lights are only made for cars/trucks with halogen housings. So let's say u had a f150 xlt...then yes you can use the kit for headlights. I would email him and ask what the best model would be for the desired application

Alright, another question for you if you don't mind. Do you think the following set-up on a truck similar to yours would work:

-Coilovers set at 2" with 2" rear block
-275/65/20 Tires
-1.25" Wheel Spacer(if Fred Makes them)

Do you think there would be any rubbing, and would there be enough room in the wheel cavity to run the 1.25" spacer? Thanks!

It would fit fine, but I think you will have to look to bora spacers to get 1.25". Whether the studs will hide in the wheel cavities is dependent on the wheel. Best to remove one and check if it has cavities first

Do you think the '15 platinum wheels like yours have a big enough cavity?
