Now I just need my new tires :) After it all has settled in I am sitting at ~39" to the top of the front fenders and ~39.75" to the rear.

I don't know if they are the right size, but I saw that O'reilleys has coil spacers part number 18-1901 made by superior automotive, I did a little search and found that you can buy these on Amazon.com shipped to your door for $7.50 each. just putting it out there.
Here's a link to them:
http://www.amazon.com/Superior-18-1...K20W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312252934&sr=8-1

Good find but those look completely different than the spacers that are on my truck, who knows though. Maybe they'll work!

And good looking truck, were you able to get a full 3 inches out of your stock torsion bars?

Thanks every one! Ya I am looking at 315's as opposed to 35/12.5 I am looking at getting them installed Friday.

I didn't get 3" out of the bars. I did the 3 out back because I still wanted the "rake" to the front. When I started the front was 1" higher than the rear and I was not 100% sure what the PO had done to the truck So my goal was to get another 1" up front for a total of 2 and pop the 3" in the back. I still have about a 1/4" or a bit more left on the torsion screws.

if you have a little more. then i would recommend a little more. just because of rubbing issues you will come into. they will be small though. also it will allow for my wheel up travel with the bigger tires. only problem. not too much down travel.

Ya downward travel will definitely be an issue. LOL I am actually hoping to find a craiglist deal near me for the same year range F150 4" front lift....
