Hey tttrader do you think you could snap a photo of your front tires turned to where they are closest to the inner fender and get a quick measurement of how much clearance is there? I am ordering the Daystar BB and want to make sure I can make those tires fit with my Weathertech front mudflaps, would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks
I measured and at the closest point, there is about 1.25 of clearance maybe a little less....PIC

2011, and shocks should not determine how "high" your front end sits.....the coil springs and your level spacers do that.

strut or spring spacer?
You said that you put on the daystar 1" budget lift, was this the strut spacer kit or the spring spacer. When I looked at daystar's website I can only find the 1"spacer in a strut spacer, I can find a 1 1/2" coil spring spacer.

It kept about .5 inch of rake, measures about 40" in the rear and 39.5" in the front. Also added 295/65/18 Duratracs on stock Lariat Wheels and I think for now it works pretty well! I hope this helps others that are wanting to keep a slight rake without adding anything to the rear of the truck...On to the pics!!!
After months of going back and forth, looking at different options, I finally ran across your post where you posted pics of your truck with the 1" daystar kit. I decided that was exactly what I wanted and it turned out perfect. Thanks for sharing man.
