I wouldn't change a thing. I'd like for mine to be more that height.

I'm gonna have to figure out something to get my back end level with the front. Some junks back there and the fronts have more tread but I don't think that will make up the difference.
I was gonna keep Ethel stockish but after seeing this... Man you all are bad influences.. @secutright bring those springs from Dillon's truck with you next weekend. I have a plan.
Just makes it look fast, like you're on the throttle with a little front lift and rear squat.
Put the 12.04 dial in on the rear window!

How much does that shackle flip give you for height? Prob more than I need, I'm guessing.
Depends on the length of shackle and how you set it up. The generic answer is 4"

More than I need then. I think I need another 1-2 inches. I'll have to get the bed cleaned out and see where I'm at.
Loaded with scrap?

Yeah. Old parts, scrap, and a panel off my kids play set.
What springs are on the front? I tried to find it earlier on and couldn't.

It's a rough country 4" I assume. Says rc on the springs. Just guessing size because of the block they had on the rear. It's all off a parts rig
Perfect thanks!
Not being a dick or anything like that But!... The front springs look way taller than 4" I`m thinking 6" for sure?
Looks too tall for 4" And awesome BTW!

Could be. The truck I pulled the stuff off had these springs, the 4" blocks and a 3" body lift. It was only a half ton, and didn't have as big of a rear leaf pack like I do now. So I think it really would have sagged in the rear if it was 6 up front and 4 in the rear.
Fair enough!
Don't much mater I like it! The two trucks together look great!
Looking forward to the pics of the 4 wheeling trip! Have fun!

I have seen 6" up front with a 4" block and 2" add a leaf in the rear to level it out.

It will get something to level it out. I just need to measure what it will need in extra inches and also see what is left for threads on my u bolts made of gold.
