No. Actually it was only about 1 3/8" before the grille guard. Minimal sag after the grille guard. Thanks for all the comments and critics. Kinda thought it would look different but I am still pleased, wish it would have fully leveled out though. However I would rather what I have and the rise then the uncomfortable "look".

I am all for one doing what they want to their vehicle, makes life fun. I had a heavy duty bumper with a winch on a K5 Blazer years ago. The only thing I think now about them is how does it affect the crumple zone of the front end during a heavy impact? Crumple zones extend the collision time allowing more time for your organs to come to rest. But enough with me on my soap box, your truck looks nice.

I'm liking that grill guard and hate to be the one in front of you or that grill guard.

Thanks. The guard was more for function than looks. I modded the heck out of my 05 lariat and didn't want that with this one. The mods I put on this truck I wanted to be functional and minimal. I understand the grill is far from minimal but necessity in my eyes. I do with the truck leveled more than what it has and will be working on that again soon for what options I can choose from. I do have one more notch higher on the 5100's but really dont want a harsh ride. May try a 4" suspension in the future, may not.

Where did you get the 5100's installed in Baton Rouge?

LSULariat

All star Ford. I could've had it done for $179 less at Allied Spring (or whoever they refered me to) but All Star said they would warranty the work and all components related to the shock if anything happened if they installed it. I had to bite the bullet. However, I may be calling Laurie and askin her if she can adjust the level up one and cut me a break some how. I dont know. Talk to Laurie at all star ford in pville. She's the best as far a customer service goes.

You sure you want to raise it more? It will look like it is running up hill towing anything. I think it looks good the way it is...

Truck looks great man! I've been scouring the internet for more pics of that grille guard. I've got the N-fab's too, except with only 2 steps on each side. But that helps give me a good idea of how my truck will look! Time to go blow that raise I just got...

i think it looks great bigger tires will help with the look also

LSULariat

Yea, I'm going to do tires before I ponder the 1 up adjustment. I just envisioned the truck a bit taller in my head with this set up. If I do go level I will be doing airbags in the rear for load purposes. I must say though, the bilisteins ride so nice. Maybe the xtra weight up front but it just rides nice! I'm very pleased with them. Looking at the pics; the truck doesn't look that long in person for some reason. Thanks for the comments guys. And jfyi, the cattleman is $430 vs. ranch hand at $670 and I think the lines are so much better on the cattleman.
