i don't know what you are talking abou infiltrator...i have the PP 1" lift progressive springs, for over 20,000kms they have stayed at their ride height of when i first installed, just look at my before and after pics! i spent money on proper 1" springs, if you buy no name or cheap brads, YES they will return to stock height. duh...

Well, got the springs & Bilsteins in there today, took about 3 - 3 & 1/2 hours. The truck was lifted 3'' exactly, from 2' 9'' to the bottom of the wheel well before to 3' even after. A little higher than I wanted but after I get new tires & remove the running boards it'll look a little better, plus now I can actually carry a little gear in the back without bottoming out lol.
I took a before & after shot ( well the wife did, I'm not allowed to touch her camera for fear I'll have the urge to give it more power ) As soon as we get the pics onto my P/C I'll stick a couple on here.
Thanks again for the tips people!

BEFORE
AFTER
In the after shot you can see the 2x4 has a gray mark, that's the 2' 9" mark where it sat stock, the board was exactly 3' long so no mark was needed & I just stood it up against the wheel....I know it looks like the board is under the wheel well lifting it up but it isn't.
Now I need to take off the running boards, get new tires, put on my new pads & rotors, lube my spindle bushings & slap in some ARB's!

This will probably sit a little better. The picture was without the spare tire on a 1/4 tank of gas & nothing in the cargo area. Once the spare was put in, kids in the back, full tank of gas, camping gear etc. it will probably be just about perfect. Maybe a tad high but not so much that it bothers me, once I get new tires & get the running boards off I may tweak up the T-bars a little; I'll just have to wait & see how it goes.

Are you happy where its at or are you going to lift the front a little? I'd say BJ spacers will help level it plus you can relax the torsion bars a little and get a better ride. I personally like the way it looks now. Mine sits the same with the back a little high but I'm 1.5" higher than you.

If I end up doing a Total Chaos long travel IFS kit then there's no need to waste the money on BJ spacers, new CV's etc. I have a lot of work yet to do before I decide what the final outcome is gonna be.

I figured it would be a good time to do it if I'm going to since I just got all new front end parts from arm_can; a seller on e-Bay and will have the entire front end apart in a few days. I might even add some OME torsion bars.....still up in the air about what to do. Much more reading & figuring in my head & decisions lol
