Did it pull the front up any or just a better ride. I would love to put a 4-6 in on it but out of price range. I have 31's now looking for a better ride 33's so when I do go off road my front end don't bottom out all the f***ing time. No extreme off roading just power line hunting a lil muddy.

I put Bilstein HD's (heavy duty) all the way around mine during leveling process and I love it. I used a spacer on top of front strut for my level. Oh yeah, I did a 2" level and it came out perfect so I wouldn't be Nose high. My .02 cents
