Looks really really good.
Level kit installed
Level kit installed with pics
Finally got it all done and I am happy with it and how the truck rides. I went with the RC 3" level kit. Turned out the spacer was too big and had severe coilbucket contact. I took another member's advice and swapped the 3" spacer for a 1.5" one and that gave me 3" exactly. I needed 3" to level the truck.
Other than the spacer issue, the install went pretty smooth without any bumps. I had a shop swap the springs for me, which cost me $20. I went with the 5100's on the middle setting and the ride has greatly improved. I bought the cam bolts and will eventually install them before I get new tires. The shop was BARLEY able to get it within spec.
While I was at it, I also bedlined my wheels. It was a PITA, but the results speak for themselves. I'll get some better after pics on level ground after I wash her up.

Thanks man
Correct, I got the RC 3" kit. With their spacer, the UCA tube was resting on the coilbucket.

Nice lift. And the bedlined wheel looks new.

Thanks, you don't see too many of them.
I'm digging the wheels. They took me about 6hrs with all the sanding and masking. The OR wheels are no fun to sand down.
Thanks buddy. It's not the 6" lift that I wanted, but this will last me awhile and it doesn't have the horrendous rake anymore.
