Hey Nadim, Its Emilio (the guy that almost rolled Today)
I just saw your pictures and I’m curious about your suspension. You just put spacers and long travel shocks right? Where did you get the spacers? And how much did this lift your truck?

Its cool seeing my name as the subject...very flattering

Well, my 4 springs are HD LR springs and lift the truck ~2" front and ~3" in the rear,

The I added custom Aluminum 1" front spacer, and Custom Steel 3" rear spacer...(home made...lol)

Next I extended the rear Shocks...

Now, In a month or so, I will get 31" shocks for the rear, and will upgrade my front system with some custom work and dual shocks at each wheel and dual steering dampners...in order to keep the hopeful 34" tires on the ground...

If you have any other question, please do not hesitate!...

Since you are in the US (I am assuming), I would highly recommend you go for the WHOLE RTE suspension kit...I wish I could, but shipping would be frohibitive, and I have to use that welder for something!

Nadim,

I used 1.5" spacers all around (HD front, MD rear). The vehicle handled very poorly for my taste. With your 2" and 3" spacers, I can only imagine your handling issues.

Not really...
the handling is great the springs are rated at 285lbs...so very good handling...
BUT
I would not drive fast in it though...the Bmer is for that
