i saved all your pics when you went up, i love your stance as well. i am really considering painting the chrome grille, keeping my yop and bottom valances, and maybe bring it up a little on some 305/50/20 tires. i was thinking of maybe some spacers up front and a block out back to pick it up some, what you think?

I think that sounds like a good idea but I've heard that spindles would ride better than spacers. I gotta get pics of my new setup sometime

My opinion is to mask off the center chrome part of the grille and color match the outer edge and leave the billit grille. Same thing with the bumper. color match the top pad and lower valance and leave the chrome on the bumper. Mirrors I would do the same with chrome/paint.

anyone know if i stay at stock height as i am now with my drop shackles, will a one piece driveshaft work? i heard it will, my carrier is still in place when i was dropped, and my pinion angle isnt correct, so a one piece seems the way to go, also if i decide to go back to stock shackles in back and raise front 2", will the one piece still work, i heard it will if i was at stock height. but need others opinions

My truck is leveled 2"'in the front with 305/50's on 20x10's to give you an idea about lifting. The rear is stock.

Iits a one piece. I'm 4wd, so mine has a transfercase on the back of the tranny making the ds length shorter, thus the one piece. I haven't touched the rear height though, only the front. What is worrying you about your ds?
