ya, i got 2" coil spacers in front and rear, so the front end is about 1" higher than the rear at the top of the fender, but at the rocker its pretty much even at all 4 corners... i need to do something about it..like some 4dr coils in the rear, or something..and nope, i didnt tape off the tires or anything, just yanked them off, and sanded the hell outta them and wiped down with prep solv solvent, and went at it with the wal-mart brand flat black like i did to the rest of the truck....the thing was purple when i bought it, and its my beater, so flat black was sweet.....it actually turned out lookin pretty good, i think, except for the rear needing more lift
