pictures of leveled 04 screw

Hello to All, I have some pictures of my 04 blackscrew. Sorry, pictures taken right after I got her back from the shop in a rain storm. It has been leveled with the Bilstein 5100 series shocks. Set at the highest level they have. I have new BFGOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO's. Size 285 65 18 on her with front end alignment. She rides a bit firmer. She feels absolutely beautiful, handles, corners and brakes fantastic. New brake job over the summer helps too, lol...

I did not take any measurements of the before and after height. But you can see she sits nearly perfectly level. Major difference in her stance...

Enjoy,

Don

Thanks for the comments... The BFG'S and the Bilsteins are outstanding. The shocks are firmer than the stock setup. But the handling and feel of the truck far out weigh the firmer feel. It is a truck after all, lol... The tires have a max air pressure of 80 PSI. I am currently running 40 PSI all around. What are you guys out there running for air pressure?

Thanks,

Don

40 PSI. Anything higher and it begins to get harsh.

Definitely looks MUCH better.........

The "ring" on the shocks is set at the "lowest" level OR the "highest" level to get the height?

I have the shocks ready to go on this weekend but I can't find the "sheet" that came with the shocks.

The Bilsteins came setup at the highest level in the box. With the piston pointed up the ring is setup at the top notch...

The front is exactly 3/4" lower than the rear. Like I said I did not measure the before height...

I am going to drop the tire pressure to 38 psi this afternoon... Trying to just take a tad firmness from the ride.
These BFG's are just fantastic. I have had many other truck guys give the nod to my rig. She is not lifted, just stock rims, but she does have attitude, lol...

Later,



Don
