Did you do anything other than just the lift on the front? I have the same bds 6 inch lift and there is a slight rake, the rear sits higher than the front. It is lower up front than other trucks with a 6 lift. It looks great by the way!

No it is completely level. I do have an eaton e-locker up front, but i dont think that would make a difference. I am going to try and wire a switch to disable the fuse.

Mine is also just the BDS lift. I am having a minor rub on the passenger front tire. But nothing a bumper replacement and some adjustment to the plastic in the fender well.

Truck looks sick! I have the same truck with 5.0L/3.73 gears and I'm hoping to do the same lift but with 20's and 35 inch terra grapplers.

Quck question if you don't mind: How was your gas milage affected? And how is the ride compared to stock?

I know the lift is going to kill the mpg but I was curious to know how bad it was going to hurt. As far as the ride, I wanted to know since I drive my truck on pavement everyday.

I installed a custom 93 performance tune from 5 start at the same time I got my lift put on. My MPG stayed about the same. It has increased about a .6 per the computer. My tires are a load d so the ride is rougher than the stock p tires. My truck is my daily driver also. The tires definitely follow the cracks and imperfections in the road quite a bit.

I've been looking at those rims for forever trying to figure out if I would like them but your truck sold me on them

DynaBeads. I use them on my motorcycles but not on the truck.

Balance harmonics usually show up around 60-65mph. The slight left pull is so that it drives straight on crowned 2 lane roads and some do it on purpose. I have the same thing and I hate it. A wheel alignment should fix that easily.

The truck looks great!

hey man the set up looks amazing i love it...if i dont trade my truck in this spring im buying my self an early christmas present and lifting her with the same lift kit..just a thought tho the out line on your rims you should take it to a powder coater or paint shop and have it paint matched to your exterior color i think it would look really nice but just my humble opinion
