Yeah I don't envy that one bit. Originally from there? I've had some pretty extreme builds here but Texas is very lax about that type of stuff just don't be a jackass basically.

I read on here that someone tried the 2" RC level with the Bilstiens and it rode like poo. Now I don't think they dropped the diff or added new control arms. Would it work, yes. Ride good/perform good? IDK and really can't say.

 

 

 

Maybe someone will try it. It's a lot of money and labor to just try on theory. Won't hurt to get all that stuff anyway. I could always throw the top spacer back on and leave the Bilsteins at stock length and the overall result would still be better for my ride/front end parts...Probably going to start buying piece by piece.

Ive done it. I have a Zone 6.5" lift plus I added Bilstein 5100 front and back. Fronts are set at 1.5" setting giving my total lift not counting tires 8" of lift. It drives great. compared to the Rancho shocks that came on it. Alignment was tricky but my guy dialed it in.

Can anyone with the zone 4.5" w/35s, Zone 6.5" w/35s and the McGaughys 7-9" @ 9" w/ 37s measure from the ground to the top side of the tailgate when in the open position for me. I'd appreciate it. Wanting to see what height I'll be at for loading deer, hogs, dogs etc into the bed. Those are the lifts I'm looking at getting.

Mine is at 43".

Does anyone run a 35" tire on 18" rims? I see a ton of 35" on 20s but I haven't seen a single 18". I personally want as much tire as possible so I'm leaning toward the 18" but I also want to run black rims and don't want them to look supremely tiny.

I have 35" on 18's. Ride well and look good. I have the stock rims though, not black.

Currently running 35s with 6" pro comp. Anybody running 37s or have opinions on what I need to do to run 37s?

The only issue I've had is my leaf springs settled some and allowed my rear end to become loose. Springs weren't part of the lift but ubolts didn't have enough threads to tighten it back up. Had my shop order a different set. Didn't ask where they got them, but everything is fine now. I didn't upgrade shocks and it's a little stiff, so I'll be upgrading soon.
