just wondering how tall your strut spacer's are. I just ordered the 3" premium kit with new Arms, and my spacers only measure at 2.25" tall. I just want to make sure that these are the right ones for the kit, so if ya'll don't mind, please measure your spacers.

Thanks,
Daniel

I am not sure how tall the spacers are but they will lift the front end more than 2.25". It has to do with the strut angle why the spacers don't have to be 3" tall to lift the truck 3". They should be the correct ones. The leveling spacers that I put on my truck are 1.75" tall and they lifted the front end just over 3".

Yes it did. The front is about 1/2" higher than the rear now. i am going to replace the factory blocks with taller ones. Most of the 2.5" leveling spacers are 1.5" tall but the ones I bought were 1.75" tall. They are the ones from Total Performance.

Why not an add-a-leaf? Just curious.

probably $$$

I guess I can see that. I just figure an AAL would give some extra payload along with raising the rear, therefore more bang for the $$. Plus no effect on the ride quality, IME.

i see that you did the 3inch,more pics

 

[kustom_efekt]

sure: this is the RCX 3" premium kit(I got a full 4" lift) with 4" zone blocks & the 1.5 Zone BL & 325/60/18 TGs

nice truck,that will change my plans for sure
fender measurements?

 

[DCUP]

I like the slight rake; did you use an AAL?

Nope, I ditched the stacked blocks and bought 4" blocks


FENDER MEASUREMENTS RF 43.5 LF43 RR44 LR43.75

Stock front measurements were around 36 or so

Thanks. One other question: What did the other two stacked blocks equal in inches?

 

[kustom_efekt]

the stacked blocks were a hair under 3", and it was enough for the truck to sit about a .5" low in the rear--be aware, you will need longer u-bolts if you choose to use anything bigger than what came with the kit
