12" Lift front & rear, shotty steering, 3" body lift and custom bumpers not designed w/ approach & departure angles in mind.
After:

Stock rear (52" long) springs custom-fabbed & fitted to the front w/ 7.25" long shackles, providing aproximately 5" of lift. Stock 56" long rear springs in the rear with a shackle-flip kit and 6" long custom shackles, providing aproximately 5-6" of lift. Crossover steering, custom-built approach & departure angle friendly bumpers (soon to have a winch). I've also left the 3" body lift and done some fender trimming to clear the 38.5"x14.5w" meats.
What using the longer rear springs (both custom-fabbed for the front, and in rear) does is allow for INSANE flexibility. Also, using stock springs in leiu of Lift springs is that lift springs tend to be much stiffer and less flexible.
What you're seeing here is less than 50% of the trucks' new-found flex. Due to that flexibility, I had to drop over 7 bills for a custom front driveshaft capable of the compound angles :eek:
