Did you take before and after(including alignment) measurements? How much front lift did it give you?

Thanks

Looks REALLY nice....good job! Makes me want to go that route now...I am already set on the Terra Grapplers but I was going to do the Bilstein 5100's...now I'm thinking the Daystar might be enough. Do you feel that the level made your tires look smaller? That's the only thing I'm afraid of right now

I'm curious too especially since the 275/65 is a good bit cheaper than the 275/60...

Thanks
There was a 2" difference in the rake from back to front. The 1" boost added 1 1/2" so I maintained a 1/2" rake (this was measured on the allignment rack from the frame) which is what I wanted.

Well, doesn't look as tight in the front wells as before, but depends on what you like. These are 34" tires so it also added 2" more than the stock Perellis. I prefer the level look much better... hope this helps:

Before:


After:


Tires after level:
