Hey guys, what's up. Well here goes on a pretty long post! I have had a CST 4'' lift on for 6-8 months and finally upgraded to a 6'' and ordered new tires and wheels also. Here is a pic of my truck stock at ride height, and then how the truck looked with the 4'' spindles and 1.5'' rear spacer.
I ordered my tires and wheels from Andrew at Bully's. They should hopefully be here within the next few days. I got my AMP steps from him a few months ago and had a great experience. They beat all prices I could find on the internet with both of my purchases. For the tires, I went with the Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 35x12.50r20. And the wheels are going to be black Fuel Mavericks 20x9 +1mm offset. I also ordered some BORA 1.75" wheel adapters for the rear wheels. I went with the 1.75 so I hopefully wouldn't have to cut my stock studs. I know with the 1.5'', you have to trim a little off the studs to get the new wheels on. The front wheels were pushed out just a little over 1.5'' with the new spindles, so hopefully that quarter inch in the back wont be noticeable. I will have some solid info on those when they come in in a couple weeks.
Adding to my lift, I used a 2'' Daystar spacer up front. And out back, I did away with the 1.5'' CST billet spacer and went with the Pro Comp 4.5'' lift kit with Bilsteins. I finished up yesterday, and will get my alignment done tomorrow. I took some fender measurements after install, but I drove it about 25 miles to let everything settle in for the alignment, and seems to have settled about a 1/2'' in the front. Front: 42.25'' Rear: 43"
And here are some pics after the lift install.
I know you guys like pictures, hell who doesn't! If you have a 2wd and are wanting to know anything, I will do my best to answer any questions. Thanks!
