your truck looks alot bigger than mine and im running 8 inch lift and 38.5 sx's, unless its an optical illusion or the zero rates do that much

That's because it is. Look at the pictures, in addition to whatever springs those are he has a shackle flip in the back, dropped front spring mounts and really long shackles. It's definitely way more than 8in.

BigBadChev84: Did your front driveshaft bind at all with that much lift? U running a cv i guess?
 
superlift softride 6" plus 1" zero rate up front... (front leafs sag to 5" even when they were new????)
not sure of the rear height... Supposedly I had a guy put 12" all the way around back in 1997 but they dont look like 12's......




why are you coming back down?
I would love to go higher... I had 12" leafs on all corners plus a 3" body lift..... :bow:

However I do realize now.... I barely fit in the trails.. no problems with length or width... height.. I smack the kc's on branches (at least they are broke anyway) and I sometimes hit branches on my windshield..... :doah:

Nope, I used 4.5" poly bumpstops and a boxed 2" peice of square tubing.

At full stuff, the front springs invert, even with the bumpstops...
