It was really easy man. looks a lot better than having the empty clip holes showing, if you ask me.

Old pic because it doesn't look as clean anymore. Actually gets taken offroad, even for a two wheel drive. Has dents and scratches from being squeezed into tight trails.....

6" Fabtech for autoride, autoride bypassed.
McGaughys front shocks set at 8".
McGaughys rear shocks with 2.5 spring spacer.
20x9 0 offset, 35-12.50-20

RoRo post more pics and details of lift! Did you get any vibrations from the rear lift with adding the 2.5" coil spacer? Also looks like you had to trim the bumper corner?

Gonna have to work on the pics, as good as I used to take care of it now the best it gets is a drive thru car wash..... Not really my beater but not pic worthy in my eyes. Maybe after a day long detail.....

What other details you needing?

No vibes using spacers.

Trimmed bumper prior to my installing the McGaughy struts, probably wouldn't have been needed if all installed at the same time.

More pics of the front and rear suspension setup with mcgaugys shocks and coil spacers. I added 2" coil spacer to my rear fabtech and I'm getting a weird driveline vibration only at 35-40mph. Called Fabtech and they said never heard of it before and to check U-joints. Wouldn't think U-joints would be bad at 40k miles on it with no lift then install lift and vibrate. What are your fender measurements now? It looks big!

 

[louisianadenali]

Can you explain the vibration? I think I'm going to install 1" lower mounted spacer in the front just to get it perfectly level (exactly 1" difference now). But I don't want to start getting a vibration. Is 1" enough to cause it?

 

[01Konvict]

You won't get any vibrations from a 1" front spacer. Do it and level the truck. You will be happy.

The rear is where I'm getting a very mild vibration. I got a 7" rear kit installed so it's occasional to get some issues when doing big lifting. Just doesn't feel like s tire but more like a driveshaft imbalance. I replaced my front driveshaft so that's not it. Just need to go see a driveshaft shop and have them check it out.

Just installed the 1" leveling kit. Haven't seen it in the light, but so far I like the look. It's .25" taller in the front now. I haven't gotten it aligned, I'm doing that in the AM. It drives great still, just like it did before. Will alignment make the front go down just a little bit?

Rear

 

[bdt115]

4 inches up front, 3 in the back. 33s and a 20x12 with 2 inch spacers all around.

 

[louisianadenali]

Went to get it aligned, had to get new ball joints. $700 later, here it is. Il post more pics later

@bdt115 what kit did you use

I want to see front and side pics!!! I know you had to cut the front to not rub! I got a 7" lift with 20x10s and 33.7" and had to trim but its a Denali front bumper. Still people running a x12 and 2" spacers have to trim with 7-8" lift.

 

[bdt115]

@Jonah52 its stacked leveling kits up front from previous owner and then I added a 3 inch coil spacer and shock extension in the rear
@01Konvict I'll get a picture of that but previously I had 35s on these 20x12s with no spacers and it rubbed so much I trimmed a lot from that. I need to trim some more with these spacers on now but it's still drive able everyday with not a whole lot of rub. I'll go outside and grab some pictures for you.
