Haha..I was thinking the same thing...I thought my rear looked real high when we installed it. I also dont have anything to compare to as this is my first lifted vehicle. I also dont know anyone in my area that has a lifted truck to compare to. Ill have to take some measurements and see.

I noticed that your truck looks pretty level too do youhave a leveling block too? Because most BDS lifts that ive seen including mine sit higher in the back

Really? Do you have the 6" struts up front or the spacer? It shouldnt really matter but I was just wondering. For the rear I have a 5" block with an AAL but i dont know how much that AAL gave me. Yeah i am going to have to measure and see if it is level. It appears to be...I am glad now that the 1" daystar spacer i had didnt fit. The provided bolts for the daystar kit were too small to go on top of the strut. I think it looks good the way it sits now. I am glad I didnt get the 8" kit.

The only thing I am worried about is my driveshaft. I installed the driveshaft spacer that I ordered but it is still pulled out a decent amount and fluid is leaking out a little. Its wet but I did notice its not dripping out of the case....maybe it resealed itself? I just hope its okay. I am going to ask tomorrow when I get the alignment done.

Oh nice...I love how my CV shafts are completely straight and how the kit fits into place. Every piece was just the right size and didnt need extra attention. You can probably put a level on top like a Hell bent steel one and be fine. Atleast those use the stock bolts and also have replacement bolts and nuts. I was thinking about throwing my 2.5" HBS level on but then quickly decided no way..haha
