Roughly 1.5-2". It only lifted the rear half of the distance the front hanger was moved down. Yes, it did hurt the pinion angle slightly, but nothing major. Not causing any problems so far.

I am going to try to get yall some pics up with the new wheels. Sad to say, but i put them on before i had it aligned after pretty much a complete front end rebuild. Ate most of the 1/4 inch of tread they had off. Front two are practically bald. Tried her out a little off road over the weekend, gonna have to have some tires before she sees any deep mud, but she pulls like a BOSS anywhere she can get any traction. I had it aligned and it drives really nice and rides exceptionally well for a 3/4 ton, especially a short one. The biggest thing i still lack is building a receiver hitch. I don't wanna get her stuck and not have anything to hook to. I also need some longer exhaust. Its cut off between the bed and cab right now. Drone in the cab is unreal above 55 mph with the 4.10 gears.
