well i got around to it did a little research and the coils i put on were 5200# and not 4800#. this being said my stock ones were 6000# but it still only dropped the front end 7/16 of an inch. the rear block is 3 5/8s iirc.. when it was all said and done the truck sets dam near level.. theres a difference or 1/4" from the ground to the top curve of the wheel well and 1/16th between the front of the bed and the back of the bed(backs a little lower) but i like that look its just me.. sorry trucks dirty as hell.. needs some new shoes asap oh and the driveway is slopped so it gives it a deceiving like its way lower in the back. and yes it rides way nice i would say this truck rides as good as any duramax i have been in.

Looks good man, it would look awesome with a nice set of 22's on it

i agree the 18s just arent doing it... i really wish i could find a 305/50/22, i was thinking about going with a 285/55/22 but i just think it will look to narrow on a superduty.. probably going with a 305/45/22 which is about an inch taller then these...

btw anyone ever mess with one of the newer super duty rear ends... GOOFY the u bolts dont wrap around the axle there is one in the front and one in the back..

Yeah i saw that the bolt goes the opposite way that it used to.

Truck looks good, def going to look awesome with some wider wheels and tires.

Im with you on the tire size, i had a set of 305/45/22s and they are just too narrow of a tire, the crazy part is the 305/40/22s are wider, but the trade off is they dont hold the weight.

id like to see how bad 325/50/22 would rub.. hey pull one of yours off and ship it down here haha i did notice it seems like ever size i think would look good the load rating goes down.. even the e range tire in that size are only rated for 2700# kinda odd

Did you have to get new ubolts when you took the block out? I'm fairly certain I'm gonna do this with my 6.7 just need to get the springs ordered.
