I agree, the CV's don't look too harsh. Just keep an eye on the boots for grease leakage. How high are you in front now?

The diff drop can only help your CV's, if you haven't installed one I'd definitely get one.

Sure did

18 gauge picture hanging wire from Home Depot.

How high are you in front now?
If your talking about lift I've got 3inches including the little lift i got from bigger tires. The actual height in the front is 38 5/8'' and 38 3/4'' in the back.



Is there a reason my left side sits a half inch lower than the right in the front and back?

Man! That looks great... I'm dissappointed i'm not gonna see it at the meet! Guess I'll have to wait til you head up my way. So much better than before though. How much did the diff Drop set you back?

Your truck looks amazing! The lift really sets it apart from what it looked like before. I'm sure you turn a lot of heads when you drive around.

It came with the kit. It didnt say that it would come with it so I went ahead and bought one from Mike at Extreme. So now I have an extra one if anyone wants it.

Maybe the gas tank?

But it does look really sweet!

What made you choose the revtek btw? Since so many ppl out there are using ome's or downeys

Yeah I have the same issue as you as far as the height of the rear. I did the Revtek kit a few months ago and also added 285 at the same time. I think I am more like at 1" difference but it dosent look to bad but I want to get the Runner Leveled out so Think I'll be calling Mike this week about springs. I do have a question, I am contemplating getting a 4wheeler soon and a trailer (6X12 hauling 2 at once) Which spring would you guys suggest as far as the Hd or VHD and regular ones I think it was when I was @ Mikes site looking it up ??
I second keeping your eye on the CV's mine started to seap after a few days of the lift but my CV's look more extreme than yours but I think thats due to mine being a 96, I still think they had slightly taller springs in the front that year, Also after I had the recall work on the rear springs I always thought it looked lower before I even installed my lift.
You might also notice it slightly lower after you get a full tank of gas
