1.5 inch Front Lift and New Rims...Pics Inside

Finally got some time to post some pics of the truck.

Installed a 1.5 Front Lift Spacers, Gabriel Max-Control monotube shocks, and then 20x9 rims with 305/50/20 Kumho Ecsta STX tires.

The front spacers made the truck ride so much better. Now it feels like it "actually has" a front suspension, plus now it does look like its nose heavy.

The shocks were a vast improvement over the factory junk that they install. My buddy's 05 shocks were worse than mine. We did his at the same time, after we saw how worn out mine were.

Then as for the "shoes", it it much more responsive and rides nicer than the Michelins that were on there before.

Truck can't be all "go" with no "show"

Nice!

Does the 1.5" lift cause the front tires to stick out a little further than the rears?

Thanks!!!!

I wouldn't say that the lift makes the tires stick out further than the rears. Your not moving the wheels in or out, only the body up by the suspension.

I would have to say that those $75 buck spacers were the BEST mod yet on the truck and the cheapest too

It reallllly gives the front suspension......some suspension, there is now spring travel, where as before, it was on the bump stops.
