What size level did you get?

Just curious as to what it actually measured.

IIRC, the rake on mine was just about 2.5" on a slightly uneven surface. Never got around to measuring it on a flat surface and haven't yet measured it since doing the kit. Couldn't find a tape measure when I had it up on the rack in the shop.

The rake looks to be close to an inch now which works for me because I tow my 26' boat and other things on a frequent basis and I don't want the rear end to sag. I didn't get a chance to measure the units themselves before I put them it, but I'd say they were about an 1.5" tall and yielded perhaps a hair under 2" of lift. They were also slighly offset. I'm assuming to help with the ball joints.

Best of all, the truck still fits in the garrage

If I wasn't planning a wedding in 2 months about about to take on $50k a year in debt for school I'd be looking into a CAI and Edge...I wish I could find more $79.99 mods that are as rewarding!!!!

I have the 1.5" AS and 295/70/17s on my '05 screw. It's the PERFECT combination for me. It looks great too. The 1.5" is just the right size. I have to get some better pics, but there's a few in my gallery.
