honestly i dont think 38's will make that much of a difference since you have the coil-overs cranked. looks like you have plenty of room to spare

i would look into 40's

Looks good and you should never mount your compressor upside down!!!! Its going to stop working very soon as i know from having 2 that went out recently cause of condensation that drips down to the piston and seizes it up.

This might sound like a dumb question, im not 100% up on all the suspension yet, but looking at the back, with suck a tall block what is keeping the block from moving left to right under the truck.

Thats what the guy at the shop said i could run 40's just have to do some trimming, i'll probably end up doing that, just need to wear these out a little more only got like 4,000 miles on them

IORf150, not trying to rain on your parade, but somebody c1t1d1 pointed out an excellent point. the block being so tall, it has more leverage and is thus more suspectible to shifting under stress/load. i would honestly look into running at least a 6'' leaf spring pack w/ a 2'' block, as opposed to your current 2'' leaf spring and 6'' block combo. it will look a lot better too, having beefy arched leaf springs, as opposed to the stockers. good companies to look into for custom leaf packs include alcan, atlas, and deaver.

fwiw, i am currently running an atlas 6'' lift leaf pack on my truck, and it is SO much better than stacking blocks/one huge block setup.

i will finish by saying though, that i would rather take your big 6'' block opposed to the factory 2'' block stacked with the 4'' lift block.

I have thought about doing the custom leaf pack, but right now there are other things that i want to do first, i mean the way i looked at it was fabtech gives you a 5.5 block in the rear this is only half a inch bigger, and there is one member on here i think his name is neuspeed something like that he's running a 6" block with 2" aal, i see what your saying but i think if i keep my eye on it check the nuts and bolts to make sure there tight, i'll be good
