shes a beaut! yeah the rear sags but not too much. I bet if you put belltech 6700 shackles on it (instead of 6400s) it would level it perfectly. 6700s give about 1" of lift while 6400s give about 1 3/4".

and why do you have the sport sticker on one side but not the other ? lol

i think the 6400 would be a better choice. looks like it's sagging more then an inch.

i chose a 3" block rather than an AAL, it sags because i had the Tbars cranked before i got it lifted.

Fabtech spindles have been known to break.

The truck looks good though. If I were you I would put your stock center caps on the new wheels. It cleans up the look a little bit.

Correction they're known to break when people are dumb enough to think its good for offroading lol.
For the street perfectly safe!

Very useful stuff though as far as the sag. Lucky me belltech is one of our suppliers so cost plus 10% for meeeeee!

not quite sure what that is, sir
