Daystar body lift on H3T

Daystar body lift on H3T
I'm running 35's, which don't rub now but I'm adding about 850 pounds worth of accessories which I'm sure will drop the T at least an inch:
Gobi Stealthrack- 83 pounds (already on, weighed it myself)
OEM UBP- 38 pounds (42 lbs, minus 4 pounds removal of factory shield, already on, weighed myself)
Rocky Road Sliders (I hear these weigh around 150 pounds for the pair!)
On board air- probably around 60 pounds with compressor, tank, lines, hardware etc
Blue Ox Tow Bar- I'm guessing around 50 pounds
Winch Bumper/Winch- Around 175 pounds
Supercharger- Around 70 pounds
Truck Vault Bed Storage System- 215 pounds
Has anybody installed the Daystar 1" body lift on an H3T yet? Was it easy to install? Do you think this will be enough height to offset the drop of adding all this weight?

Wow, that sounds like an ambitious project!
I have an extra 300lbs or so sitting on the front end of my truck (Bumper & 12.5K winch)... you can just crank the T-bars bolts a bit to make up for the increased weight and set the truck back to stock height.
I don't think you would need to do much else aside from that, most of your weight will be going towards the front and the rear is already setup to take a lot of payload in the box.
I have not seen anybody with the Daystar body lift yet, it is unnecessary if you want to run 35's even with all that extra weight. You can make up any drop from by adjusting the T-bar bolts.

I've already got the T-Bars cranked, thanks! I still think 850 pounds is going to drop me down at least an inch, I'll find out soon enough!
