Suggestions for my 06

Remove bottom spring..but tampering with that'll affect towing capacity. I'm tellin ya..the spring spacer idea is the way to go. It brought my truck up to clear factory 11 20's on 34" tall michelins, and it does not look lifted or anything. It looks right propirtionally. I say go that route with 19.5's, 22's need lowered.

Rims will stay the same for a while.
Just wide MTs.
How wide can I go without having to space the rear tires?

How far will that lower it?
Level?
And what would I lose for load cap?

Man from looking at it, not much lol. I would assume you will sit on the overloads a lot sooner, as that bottom spring is an overload also.

I wouldn't get to in depth with power since you drive so much and what not with mileage but cosmetic wise (my other 6.0 was that color as well) I'd find black wheels and color match mirrors handles bumper and grille and that's about all I can think of. I'm sure it will turn out sick.

And harley lights and take the steps off of course

I just took the steps off at a rest stop somewhere in Texas lol

Not a huge fan of this look but once the new tint, tires and level kit go on I believe it will give the truck a whole new look.

What are you doing for a leveling kit? The front end will not like it on a 2wd you have the dual a-arms or whatever I believe?

I have a daystar kit on mine, should be the same for you. Comes with a 2" spacer that goes either on top, or bottom of the coil spring. Mine goes on the bottom..go get an alignment, and you're ready to go. My ass end is still a touch higher, thought about pulling bottom spring, but that would only give an inch or so. May just pull the spacers out of the coils, and yank the bottom leaf, and leave it be lol.

Front is twin I beam, should be able to get some drop shackles for the rear, which if it has the top overload leaf it may have to come off but throw some airbags on it with the top overload gone an call it good...
