I have better pictures in the leveling kit thread if you want to dig through there, look for the time around last summer

The whole red area is the 'over extended zone'

Think of it this way. Put your truck up on a lift and let the front wheels come all the way down. Call that "fully extended". Anything past that is "over extended". As in the truck was never designed for the suspension to be pushed that far out/down. Now install your spacer kit (whether it's a strut tower kit, or control arm spacer kit, doesn't matter). You've just pushed the suspension down another inch or two. You are now past what was "fully extended" and you are now, by definition, "over extended" The blue drawing in the Bilstein picture is the exact opposite. Imagine you put your front suspension all the way up as far as it can go, under the front fenders of your truck. That's your full range on the compression side. Now stick that one or two inch spacer in there. You just lost some travel. I don't know if you call that "under-extended" or what.

Anything past factory is 'over extended'

They are not loud but I don't imagine they are quieter than the stock tire.

It's only about 100lbs difference. I remember a crate LS1 weighing like ~450lbs. A 4.3 would weigh about 3/4 of what a V8 weighs.

Those are BFG All-terrain KO2's

You lose some suspension travel and will need the truck re-aligned. Also your suspension will always be a little bit 'over extended' compared to where it would normally be, so it may wear slightly faster. You know when you jack your truck up the wheels come down a little bit as the truck goes up? That's all your doing, is pushing the truck UP or pushing the control arms DOWN, depending on how you want to look at it.

Rear didn't look any higher on mine. I went with the RC 2" fron tleveling kit with the additional 1" in the rear

Exactly. This should be a stickied post and if you buy a 6.2 and run 87 you deserve whatever happens...

IMO you're introducing 2 pieces to break if you do both top and bottom spacers. And most people only do both if they want 2.5" in the front which will usually cause you to ride slightly higher in the front, unless you add a rear spacer too. I did the 5100's because the stock shocks aren't that great anyway so 2 birds with one stone. After the alignment and labor to install it's not that much more. But a cheaper spacer kit is worth it if you can do the install yourself.

That's not quite true. Windows 2000 and newer will not format a FAT32 drive over 32GB, but a Mac or Windows 98 will format it higher. You can also get a third party program in Windows to format it > 32GB I played my 64GB Sansa USB drive in my truck, formatted to FAT32.

Why not Artist - Album - Song? Or even Genre - Artist - Album - Song?
