Here's another one ... I think the BB gives it a great look until you put any kind of weight on the front then the factory rake gets accentuated (since the front/rear spacers are both 2.5" you keep the factory rake with this lift) Here's the pics before I added a winch ...




Adding 33" KM2's on AEV Pintlers next week ...

I have a related question, if keeping stock wheels/tires (till they wear out) how important is it to get spacers with the 2.5"-3" lift. I'm thinking of going with a good 3" lift (probably coil), but keeping the tires/wheels till they wear down.

if you install the longer sway bar links in the rear and plan on flexing the suspension at all you will rub the swaybar on the tires. That's why Teraflex puts right on the box that wheels spacers are required with factory wheels.

For those of you that just did a 2.5" BB and kept stock 32"s, what kind of MPG decrease did you see? Hopefully very little

Not really noticeable if any. The larger tires are the big change.

I've got the Teraflex 2.5" BB and the Teraflex steel wheel spacers and they are going in tomorrow! Will post pictures here when I get her back.
