I really wonder how these carli kits measure to Icon kits.. because my truck did NOT look that big with a 5.5"..

I can measure when I get home in a little while. And Jared I remember asking bigrpower about his setup and he has an icon 4.5 and a 5 inch block in the back and his was level or rear high iirc where mine has the 6 in traction block and mines dead level

What are ALA's ?

Adjustable link arms from one up offroad. The "3 link" that replaces the front radius arms.

My 12" wide wheels on 37s fit with minor trimming to the bumper and fender liner

I thought they looked smaller... Powerstroke214 above mentioned they were bigger and I was confused.

I'm sticking to my guns.. 2.5", ALAs, OUO + 1-2" in the rear. Quality shocks, 35s

I meant to say that they were bigger in comparison to the 6.0, as the trucks newer than that have bigger wheel wells. I was gonna say some other stuff, but decided against it, but didn't change that.

But you can still clear 35"s stock height, that was my point. Op asked if they would clear w/ a level, that's what I was responding to. Daniel(12stroker) ran 35s stock height as well.

Correction, you can still clear 35s on a STOCK wheel. We have to specify or people are going to assume their. 10 wide bmfs and 35s will clear stock height..

I dunno if anyone wants to pitch this idea, but if I was only running 35s AND could do it all over again... I'd do a high end leveled setup...

ALA's with a 2.5" coil up front
Traction blocks + 1-1.5" in the rear
High end shocks all the way around

That's just my two cents.. Spend the money you saved on Amp Steps. Truck will look alot bigger with no running boards but it's still usable. I can't confirm if 35s and a 4.5 will fit a gooseneck, but it would be pretty close on mine.

That's exactly what I did. Got the Rough Country lift with 3" coils in the front and 2" block in the back. Running 325/65R18's on 18x9 wheels with 0 offset. I am really happy with the ride better than the stock setup with FX4 package for sure. Next up are Amp steps and rear airbags for when I hook up the 5th wheel.
