Few questions: will running a 4800# spring and a 1" block be level or have the rear end just a tad higher?

Does running a 12" wide actually cause more wear on the hub's versus running a 10"?

What has to be trimmed usually n a 12" wide? What's rubbing?

as i said before, it will be level and have no rake-possibly be ass low.

yes a 12 wide is harder on wheel bearings, power steering etc.

fender liner and pinch weld will have to be trimmed. the tire hits the body when turning.

Click to expand...

also the weight of the vehicle makes a difference. a reg cab short bed will sit different than a cclb

why not lower the front first, without touching the rear. Then take measurements and figure out what block you need for the look you want. simple.

This is the part number: 5C3Z-5310-HA

It's actually for a 2012 with the 6.2L gas engine. And it is Code X, 4000lbs.
