I just got the keys and coil spacers in so I will probably install them in the next couple of weeks. I will have to take another look at the CV joints to make sure that's what I want to do.

I think you have enough room to crank it up some. I got a 7-9" on my 11 and can easily take it to 9" without angle problems.

Ya I think your right so the only other issue I have is the shocks. The rod end isn't extended very far while siting level but I think it will be ok when I get the lift keys installed

Did you do a lot of research before going with bulletproof? Just started thinking about a lift , haven't started researching yet.

No. I was looking at getting a 9 inch suspension lift originally and it was either bulletproof or FTS in my area. Bulletproof had a 6-8 inch lift and their advertising photo looked good plus it was cheaper and it sounded like a better lift. However it didn't come out as high as their photo looked, maybe it was the angle I'm not sure but overall the ride quality is good even though I only got 6 inches out of the lift. They also took close to 8 weeks to fabricate the kit. Other lift kits might be on the shelf ready to go.

They have good travel and the resovoir has a knob to adjust the pressure.

Looks much better with the keys and spacers. Those angles are just fine and plenty of room to go up more. Level the truck as needed it won't hurt anything. Did you get 2" rear spacers?

I got 1.5" spacers because I was afraid of not getting 2" with the keys in the front. And I would rather be higher in the front than the back...So I will turn up the keys when I feel like paying for another front end alignment.

Looking really good. The keys and spacers make it even better.

I agree I thought with the bulletproof lift it would be enough but it really is only a 6 in lift even though they advertise 6-8 inches. The extra 2 inches comes from the lift keys but the back will still be low without an extra spacer.

Your Truck looks nice! How tall is it actually sitting now? I want some feedback on your ride quality and handling. Im using a 3" spindle with my 6" superlift bracket lift with dual shocks. Im interested to see the outcome. I am also going to put my stock keys back in. Ironically, Im going to be using my 1.5 inch rear spacers with my Pro Comp 4" rear lift kit. Depending on how it looks, I might get bigger spacers for rear. Want the handling to be premium.
