Thanks DocWard ! I measured before and after , and after it had settled I got 2.75 " . then with the tires i'm running ( 305/65/18 BFG AT KO's) I got another inch . so close to 4" total in the front . I'm really happy with it and with the 5100's all the way around the ride is a whole lot smoother IMO .

Actually the 305/65/18's are about an inch larger in diameter than the stockers which translates into .5" gain in lift because the extra inch in diameter is distributed evenly on both sides of the tires. So you got about 3.5" over stock.

Well the tires on my truck were 2" smaller than the 305's which measure out to 33.7 " . so on my truck , I got an inch more of lift.
True I'm not trying to argue lol. Just pointing it out because some people try to say they gained 1" of lift height from a 1" larger diameter tire when really it is .5". Either way your truck looks good.

You are in the right Super. The BFG is 33.7, the stock was 31.9. That means a diameter difference of 1.8, a radius (lift) difference of 0.9, close enough to call an inch.
Reading all the posts, it appears that it's not that consistent even if it's the exact same model(i.e. RCSB, Access Cab, Crew Max, Long bed etc). The spring rates may not be the same either. Unfortunately, you'll just have to install it and see how it looks. Even the instructions state "approximate" lift with each clip position. With your access cab, I'd start on the highest clip position.
Nothing fishy here ! just know what it measured before the 305's and after they were on my truck . And still not trying to argue ....just saying ! Lol
Yea when I said "I know when something looks fishy" I wasn't referring to you. I just meant that I'm a numbers guy and know when something looks fishy. Meaning in general...not referring to you. Now that we got this straightened out lol...
