yes you can do the spacer up front and add aleaf in the rear..I would defiantly go with the longer 4-link kit from rock krawler..thats what I'm running and love it..they told me I could run 40's with 8'' lift .. but I went with 38's so I would have some room

I am running the 8 inch rock krawler lift...They sent me a 4 inch block for the rear..that made my rear set low so I am running a 2 inch block on top of that to get level..I'm gonna get a add aleaf and take that 2 inch block out. just haven't got to it yet ..I don't know about your shocks..when I added that 2 inch block to mine I had to get new shocks..I don't know why they sent me shocks that short..I got a couple more pics in my gallery..I'll try to get some more

Stacking blocks.....not a great idea, increases the risk of one slipping out I'd get those add-a-leaves in real quick.

Awesome looking truck by the way

How does that RK lift ride on the highway? Does it flex well? I've been looking at my options around in the 6" range for the future.

Are you going to weld that control arm bracket to the frame?

I just bought the Rize 8" lift and there telling me 38" tires would rub.I was thinking about adding the leveling kit in the front with 4" add a leaf in the back.By the way they sent me 5" blocks for the back so even if I don't do the leveling kit in the front I would still need a add a leaf for the back.Did you have to get longer u bolts?
thanks Ray
