I’m waiting to see if it settles any. If it doesn’t then yeah, I would have gone with a 2”. I’m going to drive it a bit over the weekend then go get the alignment done so if there is any settling hopefully it’ll be done by Monday. I think the difference may be the lighter motor as I have a 2.7. I had this same level on my 15 at one point and didn’t net this much. So I would keep that in mind also.

Default Level

I’m getting the v8- not sure if the weight will change level. I think I’ll go with 2 inch - someone said they put the 295/65s with no rub - but your 60s look really good man.

By the way - did you swap the headlights? I saw a pic of some painted ones??? But I don’t see them in pix of truck. Can u buy them like that or do u have to send them off?

They are being sent to me. If you look at the pics close they weren’t sealed yet. Those photos where sent to verify everything was painted in the correct orientation. They are now sealed and will be shipping out Monday. They have a set they paint and send you. Once you get the painted ones installed you send them your stock ones.

I saw the 295/65/20s and personally thought they where just too big for a level.
