Close to 3" of difference, when auto 4wd or 4wd was on sometimes the cv's would slip and not grab at first and when they did theyd just catch and make an awful clunk sound. Any speed above 30mph there was a horrendous howl out of the cv's. I'm not 100% sure but I think with a BDS youd be alright raising it another 2". Leveling kit is roughly 100- 200 bucks that's a pretty reasonable learning curve if it does or doesnt work out.

I may just have to look into the FTS 10" lift. Did you sell your old lift? I'm wondering if I would be able to sell my current lift to help offset some of the cost of a new one.

What engine do you have?

Definitely post up some more pics. That's a sweet looking truck.

I have the 3.5 TT and the FTS 10" is up there in price. My entire setup ran about $7900, I also upgraded things I didnt necessarily need to but the base kit starts at $5995.00 then you have to add rear shocks and other small things that shouldve came with the kit in my opinion but were extra. Its definitely not the kit for everyone's budget but personally for me it was either a new snowmobile or do my truck. Took some more pictures today, shes a little dirty but just wanted to get some shots of the lift components.

I'm not sure why it does that. It has happened a few times to me. The forum gets a little quirky like that from time to time. Like when I post from a mobile device...my signature doesn't show up. It's quite aggravating.
