Wouldn't mind at all. PM me and we'll see what we can work out. I'll be out of town the 12th through the 21st, then I'll be moving after that. Let's look at June if that timeline works for you.

It had a rough country spacer on the old one, correct? I'm 99% sure you'll clear everything. I got a true 2.5" of lift in the front of mine with the quicklift struts. If it helps put things in perspective, I'm going to be running 20x10 -19's with 33x12.5 tires. I'll be spreading the crash bars a bit to avoid rubbing.

Sounds good there just sitting in storage collecting dust debating on which level/lift I want to try. I used the actual rough country struts from a 2014 model and used the factory spring on the strut, rode ultra smooth better than stock. Looked like these. I'll pm my info I'm off on weekends.

Ah gotcha. They should be about the same. I'd say you'll clear.

the Metal Lugz are the ones I'm gonna go with. I wish people made better secured lug nuts for trucks. I've got Gorilla lugs right now. when I was a service advisor I probably gave out my personal wheel lock key to be used on customers trucks 10+ times. but I figure maybe spiked ones will be halfway decent because they take such a long socket. as for those VV Concepts ones.. lmao, holy ****

I guess when people spend what they spend on forces, what's $20 per lug? Lolol

Gorilla are decent. I ran them on my last truck, they had the outside grooved and had a specific key code. I found that out the hard way, took off and forgot my key was on my lug still... Never found it. I'm more than likely going with Metal Lugz, I ain't got the money to run VV Concepts, nor do I want to spend $500 on lug nuts. Lol
