Done! This should keep me happy until momma allows the Dobinsons MRR kit to go on lol.
BFG KO2's in a 275/70/18 aka 33.2x10.8x18.@Tex68w what size KO2s do you have installed? The stance in photo two is perfect, IMO.
Were your shops anywhere near DFW? If so I’m interested! ThxBTW, it took my shop 35 minutes to install these, they charged me $80 and my alignment at the alignment shop was $86 with tax. All in with the cost of the spacers was $236.

Only 35 minutes...do you know if the alignment was off ? I think I will have my mechanic do the spacers rather than my dealer who does not want to put them in.BTW, it took my shop 35 minutes to install these, they charged me $80 and my alignment at the alignment shop was $86 with tax.

What airbag kit did you go with? Did you do a central inflation system or individual?Had the spacers put on mine about 2 weeks ago by the dealership here in Bend, Oregon. They did an alignment. Just over $425 or so for everything. I had a significant rake on my 2021 HE. And it was worse after adding airbags. The spacers didn't eliminate the rake but brought it closer. About an inch different. And when I two our trailer with 700# of tongue weight and a WD hitch and 20 PSI in the airbags it levels out. (When not towing I have the airbags at ~6 PSI.)
Firestone. (Can't remember the model number but I believe it is the same that others here have used. I followed the lead of @linuxgod). As for the line, I went with the combined setup (T-connection) and had the single line run under the vehicle and then the valve mounted under the hood right next to my ARB air compressor. Note the red circled area in the attached photo. It is actually close enough that I can plug in the air chuck/gauge into the compressor and then attach the short hose from the chuck onto the airbag value without needing to use my long air hose. Works great.What airbag kit did you go with? Did you do a central inflation system or individual?
I had the dealer do it in a day for not a lot of money. I feel it greatly improved the look… I had rear airbags installed for towing which raised the rear, so the spacers prevented even more rake than stock. As you say it’s not a huge difference…but I’ll bet your disappointment is from doing the work yourself.UPDATE: After 50 miles and an alignment, the spacer install into about a 3/4" lift/level in front (and I'm being generous). My wife asked me if it was worth the effort...my immediate answer: No. It just isn't enough of a difference to really matter, and I don't care how many pics from how many angles get posted. If I knew then what I know now, I would have just driven it as is and worried about leveling it when I was ready to go off pavement with it.
So, for those of you on the fence about doing this to a newer LC200 (much like I was), I advise against it. The juice isn't worth the squeeze IMHO. If you're paying someone else to do it: I still advise against it. Just wait till you feel your truck is ready for a 2"+ leveling lift and be happy with how it rides on pavement until that day.
Again, this is just my own personal opinion after doing the work and driving the results. I mean no offense; each to his own.
