Nice setup, any more pics? Looks like a shell, are you using anything other than the basic OME leaf pack out back?

Where was this pic taken? You have a awesome setup going there.

This is a shell that we picked up last fall at FWCJH and I am in the middle of doing a build. I will post as I get a little further along. Truck just has the Dakar's in back. Stays level, rides great. We are actually going to sell this truck and pick up a 2015 DCLB to replace it.

My old truck. still miss it.

OME front and back. Not crazy lifted but it is an improvement over stock.

OME lift with the extra leaf pack for the load

And as was mentioned earlier, a longer rear bumper was fabbed up to cover the camper on ledges and things.

Brick nose f350 idi. Little bit of lift on 35s. Had to post to help balance out all the toyotas

Not an FWC, figured I'd throw a full size into the mix for you. The truck has a 6" lift (which I would NOT do again).

I dying to know why you wouldnt lift it again because my build plans are to lift a 2015 2500 HD Denali 6.5" with a FWC ....... Please let me know the problem!

Awesome looking rig you have if you ask me!

I just picked up that same Sunlite, might even be the same year, '99??
yours kind of looks like it rubs on the cab?, I spaced mine up with a 2x frame.
Some real nice campers in this thread.

Thanks for the compliment.

The lift is almost useless other than allowing larger tires. The front is a drop down bracket and the rear is blocks (which I intend to change out to custom springs, eventually). I get reduced fuel economy, increased wear and tear on suspension components, particularly front hub bearings, speedometer is off (can be corrected with an aftermarket tuner), tires are more expensive, increased turning radius due to front axle spacers.

The pro's...looks cool, and I can air down/slightly improved ride quality on the 250 miles of dirt the truck sees vs the 5,000 pavement miles it takes to get there.

If I had it to do over again, level the front, quality shocks, for the rear, airbags and quality shocks, run slightly larger than stock 285's and call it done. I think you could get a GM/Chevy built in this manner EVERYWHERE I care to take my truck.

I did raise my camper a bit more after that pic (my camper is built for a mini-truck, so it is narrow and shorter than most). I looked forever for an inflatable pad to put between the roof/camper, ended up with a heavy duty inflatable pool float.
