cant see the pics from work but since he is suggesting adding a spacer up front he is talking about the front being lower than the rear.

The shocks will not have any effect on how high or low it sits.

Nice ride.

Before you get excited about making adjustments, drive it for awhile and see if it settles.

You stuffed 33's under there? I am getting that lift and was going to go with 32's, but RC suggested go with 31's as 32's will rub the fender flares when flexed.

There really not stuffed at all I did drive it around the block and did some full turns and only minor trimmin on the bottom corner of the front bumper and and the bottom of the fender. But I didnt turn and hit any bumps so we'll just have to see what happens

Lift looks good...may I ask why have those type of rims become such a trend? I see everyone with them or something similar on lifted truck.
