Default BDS lift kit help

I've decided to go with the bds 6 inch lift on my truck. I'm wanting to add a 1 inch daystar level (I know it actually will give more lift than that) to the front and run the 5 inch block in the rear. So I'm assuming that should leave me about .5 inch nose high which I'm ok with. So if anyone could give info on this or post picture with your bds kit with the 4 or 5 inch block so I can get a feel for what 1.5 inches in the front will do to the truck. Also is it worth upgrading to the fox 2.0 shock? Thanks in advanced.

We just had a customer do this with the Fox 2.0s. Let me see if he posted pics yet.

Did they run the 2.0 coil overs up front or just the 2.0 rears?

I noticed your running bilsteins up front. What setting do you have them on and what size rear block do you have? I really like the stance of your truck. It looks just a hair nose high?

To be honest that probably would be a better option. However a 8 inch cost over double what a quality 6 inch cost and I don't need that full 8 inches since I'm only running 35s.

Well that is a great looking truck but tires cost more, the lift cost more than double, and I would need to regear. This is way more than I want to spend.
