you have to figure though, ALL trucks are different. some trucks seriously can sit a whole 1" higher than other trucks just from the factory, now im not saying that that could be why your higher, your obviously higher casue the ford keys and the add-a-leaf but just figured id let ya know

He's probably on stock wheels, with the airdam trimmed and the fender liner zip tied back. Running the stock wheels helps a ton, keeps the tires in the wells. There's quite a few guys on GMFS that run 35s with a 3" BL and keys/crank. I saw a guy on FSC with 35s on stock wheels w/ just keys...talk about stuffed.

I then added an add-a-leaf (2-1/2")in the back and ford keys in the front, the truck sits level right now. My friend put a trail master 6" lift on he's gmc with 33" tires and my truck is two inches higher then he's and my truck has 30".
Im basing it off the recent 4 wheel mag that did the comparison between 8 different lifts. It was measured from the cenetr of the hub to the top of the fender, the lift was 4 3/4" with their 6" llift. The Superlift was 6 1/4".

I was running 35x12.50R17's on my 2001 F150 with a 3" body lift, no rubbing. I had 33x12.50's at stock b4 that. Now I am running 315's on 17x9's on a 6" Fabtech, took off the body lift. It's pretty bad *** looking.
