Well when the flip is done and the shackle added you get roughly4.5 to 5 inches of lift. I chose this instead of rear lift springs. These ride like stock and I maintain my stock load carry rating. This is important because this is a TRUCK that will be used like a truck. I have nothing against those who lift and street drive or buil a radical offroader that needs to be trailereed to the trail...
I don't much care for the ride of a lifted truck it was done for better offraod capibilities. Not taking anything away from the lifted 4x4 show trucks or street drivers just not my style.
