i just finished lifting my 98 5.2L 2wd club cab

i put in a 3" fabtech suspension, and had to add a 2" shackle on the rear of the leaf springs in the back to level out the truck

i'm running bfg AT ko's 32x11.50x15 on a 15x8 rim with a 4.5" backspacing. that whole 3.75" or less back spacing is bs, nothing even comes close to rubbing

i only had to trim the front bumper about an inch, not enough to notice, but i already had my whole inner fender wells out from when the truck was lowered.

like i said nothing even comes close to rubbing, all the new a-arms and brake lines have at least a 2 inch gap.

i just got it aligned today and theres still lots of room

i've read alot of posts on this sight and it seems like everyone said i couldn't do it, but i did.

my dads a mechanic and i've worked on trucks since i was fifteen, so be careful about what you read and who you take advice from, if anyone has any questions let me know

Why flame him mobdeep_dak? Keith tried the lowered dak set up and didn't care for it, so he went with the lift. Now he is thrilled with his new found ground clearance and is sharing his experience to help out his fellow Dak owners.

my 32x11.5's are on my stock rims and they rub a little at full turn but i also have mud terrains on so the knobs and a little. That might be why a lot of people say they rub, just to clear some things up.
