It used to feel like it was "tip-toeing"... not anymore. It's solid and stable, and it drives like it's stock!
Halleluia!!!
Finally, piece of mind. I drove it about 20 miles on the highway. Gas on, gas off...

The rake went from 2 inches to 1/4". Still looks great... just not quite so high in the back. I think I'm going to have to get a roof basket to take up some more height now. LOL.

Yeeehaawww!

Two things:

1.Congrats on getting rid of your grinding noise

2.Its not your fault you were born that way, you don't have to compensate by purchasing items that are oversized. Just let it be. ;Do;;Do;:rotate::laughing:

LOLOLOL

Hey man, at least I was grinding, not rubbing...
...Just say'n.

Wow... even I am impressed with how lame my comeback was. LOL

I have the 1.5" daystar spacers and 912's and experience no issues with driveshaft noise... wonder if it varies from truck to truck?

edit: I just went back and read that you have the 919's. nevermind!

Yup. 919s are taller than 912s.

I was thinking that if I REALLY wanted to, I could go back in and put the spacers back in, and remove the stock rubber Isolators... just to see.
BUT... why tempt fate?
I drove to work today and had no issues.

I really don't think you need anything more than the 919s. That gets you 2-3 inches of lift alone. Throw in some 33s, now you are 4-5 inches higher than you started, and thats more than enough for our truck to go wherever you want.

The only reason I was considering re-lifting was due to the visual appeal of the height difference in the back. I felt it dropped too much by pulling the spacers out.

I was able to park about 200 feet from the entrance to my work building today. On the way to the VX tonight, I got to see it's new stance (level front/back) for the first time from a distance. There's no way I'm going higher! I LOVE the look of it now. If I do go higher, it'll be in 2ish years when my 33s die, and I can then do 35's. :bwgy:

I don't know if any of you ever played Command and Conquer games on the PC... but it used to remind me of the NOD Buggy.
Now it's more "correct"... and it FEELS good too.

You don't need more lift ro run 35s. I am at 34w with no problems, so more trimming in the front, and a diff drop is a good idea as well and you would be fine.
