Naa actually probably just 1".

Will be taking off the 4" SuperLift Springs and putting on stock SD Springs! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

Not sure what I am going to do for the rear just yet.

I just started my install of my 3 inch and SD springs. Even though i have a feeling i got some x codes. because the suckers got a good arch to them. and just sittin in it make me think they are going to be tall.

Re: The Sky Manf. 5" Reverse Shackle Kit!!! Just got in the mail!
so far i have been tired after work and am loacking the right tool to easily cut the front bumper mounts. Tomorow i am hoping to get the brackets out, And after talking to caryt some i think i may have Xcode springs, so i might have a bigger lift than i thought.

I have a level kit and a little trimming on the front bumper and fit 315/85r16's. Unless your offset on your rims are way off I would think you should fit 37's with no problem. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] But I have been wrong before.

BigFootPSD96 says he only has a 3.5" and he has 39.5" tires. So whats up with not being able to fit 35's with a 5" lift? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
