Shocks limit it to 12", but the leafs separate at 12 so i wouldn't go further without a re-arch. ill be strapping it at about 11.5" most likely.

Heres droop on the truck. Front is soon to be where it will be at ride height


Rear


Droop


Ride height as of June 11th





My marker lights at night:




And thanks for the comment on the truck and thread! More will come very soon as my BTF, Camburg order is about to go in.

Spoke to BCST, my invoice is in and my order has been placed. The list goes somethin like this... BTF Uniball UCA's, Camburg performance coils, Bilstein 5100's with proper valving for truck, PRP Limit straps, Ruff stuff Double sheer tabs, 1.25" wheel spacers for the rear (dont wanna buy new rims to fill bedsides down the road, could always ditch them)

Ill update when ive got something new, hoping to get the parts by the end of june. past that i MAY change my rear shocks as their compression is still stiff over bumps. Havent decided on my bedsides yet, I am thinking of waiting till the spring to order those.

I'm hoping my transmission takes a dump so i can drop it off at ford and get a new one for $100. Yay ext warranty!

Did you trim the bottom plastic part of your bumper? It looks different. Anyways looks good as usual. You should get a prerunner bumper Why did you make an e-brake bracket?

Yep bottom has about 3" removed. Thank you, not looking at a bumper any time soon.

E-brake bracket is required when you run a chevy 64" leaf pack as the front hanger/ebrake mount gets mover 6" forward and give too much slack on the cable for proper operation.
