I snapped a bunch of images of my 2002 3500 CC LB with BFGoodrich 235-85-16 ATs mounted on the stock rims.

It also shows the 3" leveling cams from Hill 4 Wheel Drive that I just installed. Truck sits pretty level now!

Oh, I pulled my 2000 C5 up next to it for the shoot. Enjoy!

c5dura.
Looks great. Nice Vet too.
Hows the ride compared to stock?How much thread do you have left on the torsion adjust bolts?
Could you be a sport and measure from the center of the front hub to the bottom of the front flare?
I want to see how much those keys lift the truck when compared to my 6 turns on the torsion.
Thanks, Steve.

Great looking truck, tires, Vette, house and dog!
The 3500s (and 2500s to a lesser extent) kinda struck me as having too much slope, yours looks great like that.

Regards, Steve

Thanks guys!

I still have 8 turns worth of thread left on both bolts. I meassure 24 3/4 inches from the center of the hub to the fender. I believe I lifted the front about 2.5 inches as opposed to 2 inches with 8 turns on the stock cams. I had perhaps 2 - 3 more turns to go with the stock cams.

Ride is not noticably different than stock.

Please elaborate on how the ride is different. I take it you had your Tbars cranked with the stock cams then went to the Hill replacements. Thanx.

When going straight down the road I don't notice any difference from stock. But when going around turns, the extra height works against you as the higher center of gravity makes the truck lean more, so you just have to go a bit slower.

But like I said, I haven't really noticed any difference when just cruising along. Going over speed bumps and rough pavement seems the same as before as well.
