Thanks Phil........they were a great birthday present and only a few hours to install/wire up. The light they give off is enough to ensure you don't trip entering the truck for sure. I'll snap some other install pictures of how I routed and mounted the controller under hood.

I just measured 3 times......and got the same measurement 3 times +/- .093 or 3/32" from the new wheel centerline to the bottom of the wheel well lip.
Front = 24.625"
Rear = 24.625"
So an effective 2.625" lift in the front with the 6112 Struts and Springs after settling and 400 miles. The rear 5160 Shocks Bilstein claims a 1.0" increase so unless I measured wrong previously, I lost .150" in the rear. Both front and rear are the same height as far as I can tell with my non-scientific measurements.

Thing is someone asked me to measure and it was after I changed wheels. So the centerline i was measuring from was gone. Can i assume a center on a 20in wheel is the same nope but it's all i have to go by. Surely a .06 won't kill ya. For you I would put the old wheels on just to measure but as luck would have it they sold......lol
