I figured he included tires but thats still pretty freakin good. He said that his front was 37 inches and his back was 38. He also said that he could have adjusted them more so I assume he could have leveled it out. 38 inches is 5 above where I'm at now. Which is where I wanna be but I would probably prefer this to a body lift.
So I'm sure, you do get more lift out of #1 bars? Do you need new keys? Are these more rough than just cranking stock bars?
~Cheers

But he doesn't have a BL right? It would be nice to get that height with adding a BL nor spending a ton of money on spindles.

Chris what did the bars cost you and how much for the belltech shackles?
My guess is it was all less than a body lift.

well crap i just checked my FX4 to see what bars i have and i have B bars and K springs.. that pisses me off cus all this time i thought i was rollin on #1 bars...
however i looked under my truck and the bars that are on there have a barcode and look WAAAAAY newer than anything else... so maybe the previous owner put #1s in!!!
i also measured my fenders and i'm at 36.5" front and back. if i dont have #1 bars then your extra height would make perfect since.
once again man your truck is sick. very clean but still looks badass. that locker will be killer too
