Default PICTURES NOW!! FINALLY!!! Bilstein fr Adj. shocks w/ Toyo

I finally made up my mind with lifting it. I went with the adjustable Bilstein shocks in the front. (setting 3, as high up as possible) and then put Toyo 275/65/18 on the stock rims for now. When I saw it at the dealership, I was stunned at how big of a difference it make it look. I really looks like a mans truck now. The ride home was smoother than ever. I will post pictures hopefully by tomorrow after I get her washed.

The girls thought it was sexy before the lift, I wonder wut there going to think now. HAHA!!

is it level or a little nose high? I am still torn as to what lift to install. It will either be OME or the Bilstiens.

I'd be very interested if you notice a change in ride quality.

Nice truck. So, you had the 5100's installed in the front and they didn't have to do any other work, like drop the differential or anything special like that? Is there a noticealbe ride difference?

Nope sure didnt. Only the 5100's. The ride is very smooth to be honest. Didn't think it would be that smooth since I was upgrading tires, but it is.

Looks good. I can't decide if I like the 275 or want to go 285.....but the shock results look good.
