already bought the paint, and seen trucks done the way I'm doing it. I think it'll look great

Ha ha...not funny...j/k
I thought maybe the top pic was a new paint job and bottom was the old color. Either way, I like the color in the top pic, lol.
They are eagle alloy 058s. 16x10 up front and dually wheels in the rear. Stock center caps. It was fun to figure out what was needed to make them work because these wheels take shank lugs in the rear and acorns up front. I had to modify the front caps to work. I have never seen it done but I like it more than aftermarket caps.
I think I have 5in approx up front. I know I have 3 in the rear. I'm thinking I might lower the front a touch because its too hard to tell if its level or nose high. The rear wheel well measures 1 in more than the front. I think it sits pretty level but I think I want the rear a tough higher for towing.
This is what I currently have for lift:
4in pmf hanger with 5in pmf shackle (should net 4.5in of lift)
I took new rear c code top overloads and mounted them to the bottom of the front springs.
Front springs are new v codes
Rear has new c codes and a total of 5in blocks (stock was a 2in block)
Once I figure out what stance I like, I will order either pmf or ouo traction block setup. Its just hard to find level ground here in Colorado to get a better idea. I think I am going to remove the overload springs from the front to see what it looks like then.
Here are a few pics I took today, others you saw were without the 5in hangers up front. Not much of a difference but some.
Now can you still put a gooseneck on the truck and not have any issues? I'm lookin into this setup myself now

A couple up by my families vacation house
I do not pull a gooseneck but I have seen others that do without issue.
On the org in the dually section there is a guy with a 6in lift that pulls a big trailer a lot.
Most others run a 4in block in the rear from what ive seen.
Im probably not the best person to answer that question but I dont think there would be any issues.
I can measure how high the back is if you need though. I think the rear end is only 5in higher than sock, 3 from lift and approx 2 from tires.
A stock 99 already sits 2in higher in the rear than my truck did, so its only 3in higher than a stock 99 dually.
Hope that helps a little
Yeah if you could measurements would be appreciated a lot. I'm debating on 4" springs up front and getting a 4"/5" block for the rear. But I still need to hook to a gooseneck. Thanks a bunch man!

Im not sure exactly what measurements you need exactly but I will take various ones.Yeah if you could measurements would be appreciated a lot. I'm debating on 4" springs up front and getting a 4"/5" block for the rear. But I still need to hook to a gooseneck. Thanks a bunch man!

Looks are deceiving, lol. I'll post proof. I think its the way the pics took with my phone. ..All I have under the rear of mine is a 4" block and there's more than enough room. INFRNL's looks like more than a 5" block in the rear from the pictures. But if that's the case and his rear is only an inch or two up from mine, you would have plenty of room running his setup.
Yikes . . .
