Default 2.5in lift kit installed (Pics)

Well it took a while to get it all done. I installed a 2.5in front leveling spacers and then I installed a 2.5in add a leaf kit. It looks great now. I'm off to get it aligned right now. To other yes an alignment is necessary, I can feel a pull and other issues that wasn't there before.

Front 2.5 lift/leveling kit. From http://autospringcorp.com/index.php?...&products_id=8

Rear 2.5 lift from http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...&t_pn=EXP13134

Looks great man! Whats the measurement from the ground to center fender well? It's kinda hard to see but it looks like the back is higher? Just curious what you used for the rear. Block? Shackle? How much? Anyway it looks good. Just been thinking on adding to the rear of my 04.

Yes the back is higher, I installed 2.5in lift add a leafs in the rear. The link to what exactly I bought is in the first post.
Right now the front sits at 38.5in and the rear sits 40.5in.
That is with 270/70R18 tires, which is about 33in.

For under $200 a 2.5in lift is well worth it.

no doubt! I had the 3" level and now I have a 2.5" level. I want to put the 3" back on but I didn't like the squat. I was thinking of add a leaf also. Thanks for the info.

I know how you feel. It is well worth the wait. It has a good stance now. Does the kit you got include something for the back? If not the front will be higher then the rear.
