I actually just installed mine in yesterday. I have an 08 crew 2wd, and with the 1 1/2 inch block in the rear, my front sits higher than my rear. Weird. But the kit is pretty tough. Took it for a short light off roading (loose gravel and some mounds) and it held pretty well. No clunk so far, and for street driving, it is still the same as stock.

This was the thread I was looking for, thanks. I am debating what to do right now. I have the 4" CST spindle. I already have wheels and tires. 325/65-18 Nitto Terra Grappler's on 9" wide xd revolvers with a 4 3/4 backspacing. I was debating buying this kit also to give me 7" up front. Those tires are huge, and I don't want to rub. I will do rear blocks and shocks according to what I work out in front.

UPDATE! The tires I ordered are HUGE!.........and dont fit haha. they were rubbing on the upper control arms, so im gonna move down to a 305/60/18 because i dont feel like ordering tires in until one fits. they should be here wednesday.

is the side of the tire rubbing the upper control arm? if so sounds more like the backspacing not the tire size

BLACKIZZLE · 01-27-2009, 01:22 PM

yea they were barely rubbing. they ordered me in some 305/60/18's. hopefully they fit

Sprocket1 · 01-28-2009, 06:08 PM

well i just put my kit in..and its pretty good..deffintally sits better than it did..but i deff wont need any blocks for the rear..theres still a tiny rake to it..not much but it doesnt sit low in the rear to need a block..im gonna get a body lift next i think..i want to go up a lil more..but i cant afford a full 6 inch kit right now..but at least it looks better now! ill post some pics tommorw..to dark out now to take any

they might be rubbing because of the positive off set of the rim....... not the tire

should have got 325/60/18 they would fit or even a 305/65 or 285/70 maybe. those 305/60 maybe too small

my thoughts too that should actually be smaller than the stock tires if im not mistaken..

BLACKIZZLE · 01-28-2009, 10:13 PM

well we went with 285/65/18's. they had them in stock so we went with those, i got the rims and tires on tonight and it looks awesome, i will post pictures tomorrow. i took my running boards off but i dont know if i like the look of it without them. it looked beefier with them on so those might be going back on tomorrow.

ALtitan · 01-29-2009, 10:11 AM

well lets see em!

BLACKIZZLE · 01-29-2009, 10:03 PM

k here are some pictures after i got it all cleaned up and took the running boards off. I dont know if i like the look of it without the steps on tho. tell me what you think

I will get some better pictures of the actual rims tomorrow

tell me what I should do next to my truck. im definatly thinkin black out the tail lights and a new exhaust would be nice

**Arachnid** · 01-29-2009, 10:10 PM

I think you need the running boards back on.
