new here wanted to post pics

I just got my 2010 truck two weeks ago and started checking this site out for ideas. I know people with leveling kits but it was great to jump on here and see pictures of many different configurations. With that being said I thought I would post my pics from stock, to lift with no tires, to lift with tires. I ended up going with a 2" auto spring kit for the for the front and a 2" rear add a leaf for the rear. I pull a trailer a good bit and hate sagin when pullen the add a leaf makes a unbeleavable difference.

How did those tires work out for ya? I beleive you mentioned in another post that you were going with 295/70/18? Any rubbing issues that required trimming anywhere? Any Traction control issues? Any pics of wheels turned showing clearance?

Thanks.

love the look of the "lift" you did, makes the truck look perfect as far as length vs height

Thanks guys for the compliments. I believe I paid $213 and some change for the lift. I had some concerns going into it but decided to do it any way. The truck is brand new so I was concerned about traction control issues but bit the bullet. So far I have not had any issues at all with traction control or rubing. The tires come close to the air damn in the front when turned but have not rubed it yet. It is raining here so can't take clearance pictures but there is no issue with clearance anywhere. I called fat bobs garage, ready lift and a few others before I called auto spring. Kevin with A.S. was the most noligable of all the companys and catered to my needs. If you got any questions p.m. and I will be glad to answer any questions.

Daniel sorry forgot about install question. Install is pretty easy as long as you have a impact wrench. I would say it would be nearly imposible with out one.
