Looks like it leveled it out perfect....
I may just go up the one notch.. Leave a slight rake...

BTW.. If you haven't changed your front diff fluid yet... Don't freak out when you do... Good chance it may be grey....

I’m actually 1” higher in the front! lol and thanks

As long as it has a drop bracket to keep the angles in check should be fine

I figured as much! According to the kit details online it does keep the angles in check.

I've been told by several shops that the fab tech is good quality kit.

I went with the zone 4.5 zone.. And added a leaf in rear.

I kinda wish I went higher....

Gonna go up a notch on Bilsteins..... Soon after all settles......

Thank you! I’ve read and read and see quite a few people use Fabtech so I’m hopig the quality is there! The magneride is a nice feature but makes it difficult to find kits lol

You wish you went higher? That’s what I’m tossed between.. I really want a 6 but the amount of driving I do for work and the clients that will be in and out of my truck I’m leaning to a 4 just for those reasons.. it sucks lol but I guess a bit of height is better then nothing! I think I’m going to run the 4 with 33’s that poke out slightly.. trying to find a good set of chrome wheels that won’t get chewed up in the winters up here!

Im assuming most 4-6 lift kits will widen the track width in the front?

Ps. Your truck looks great!!

Yes, my 4.5 pushed the front out 1.5 per side.

You might check but the fab tech may be a little less.

Question for you guys, I’m looking to buy a drop hitch for my truck. Did a 6.5” lift and 35s. What drop do I need? I was thinking a 6” drop would do the trick. Pic for attention.

Flip, did you keep 5100's with the Zone 4.5? I was told I would have to get rid of them. How does it ride?

That’s not true. I have the Zone 4.5 with the 5100s on the 3rd setting

Mine were installed with the lift. I didn't want the ones offered with the kit.

Jimmy, did you ride on lower setting at all?

Curious how much the ride stiffens up on the upper setting... Compared to the stick setting

2.5 level kit from suspension maxx. BFG K02’s. Looking into 4 to 6 inch lift but I’m hearing different issues with electronic steering stabilatrac & abs. Any one have good luck with lift kits? I have magnaride and my truck rides nice don’t want to ruin it
