Looks real good! It's hard to tell from the pics, is the back higher than the front?

ya it is but only just a tad 1/2 inch or an inch... due to the ISO pads not settling yet but it will be lvl when they do... it looks good... i took some tires of a dakota to test fit 265/75s man do they ever look good.. imma do minor timming and they will look great..

2 iso pads will be too much in the back, it will rake bad after the front settles.

For mine it took about 2 months to lose close to half inch. There are some people on here that have bad sagging problem with Rustys and for others it never saggs at all.

Be prepared to drill out the holes on your strut plates! The hole alignment on mine just didnt match, Yours may be fine but i have also heard this from others as well.
