If anyone is interested, I have a 2003 2wd Supercrew that has gone through some transformation. I have always had 4wd's that I lifted, but the last couple of times, I just didn't need 4wd. So, when I bought my 03 new, I thought I would by a 2wd and give lowering a shot (Because I just can't roll stock!). Initally, I put on 20" wheels and just lowered the back 2" with shackles to level it, but I wasn't diggin that. So, this past spring I lowered it with a Bell Tech 2/4 kit and airlift "slam air" airbags. Once I lowered it, it looked nice and I thought I would give it a shot. The shot didn't last very long.... Well, I missed the days of my lifted trucks, so I pulled the lowering kit out and installed a Rough Country 3" spindle lift and 2" blocks two days ago. (I know there has been some discussion on R/C kits, but the quality of the spindles and blocks were acually pretty good. I haven't roadtested the shocks yet.) Taking out the lowering kit and putting in the lift kit wasn't too bad of a process. I did it by myself over two half days (about 9-10 hours total). I am so stoked about the lift now. Here are somes pics of before and after..

I still need to go get an alignment and new tires/wheels (Monday) I have a question and seeking pics and suggestions...Does anyone have 20" with 33" diameter off road tires? I find plenty of 20" on 35-37's, and that looks good. I'm leaning towards 285/75/16 on 16x8 wheels. Any suggestions or comments would be appreiciated.

Thanks all, Tom

 

I think the 16x8's and 33's would be the best combo.

 

i would go ith 18's

 

Ditto..

 

So, I went with 16x8's and 285/75/16 Nitto TG's. What do you think?


BEFORE

 

 

it looks MUCH better lifted and with the new wheels...IMHO

 

Agreed, nice.

 

X3

 

Looked better lowered to me, but it's your truck and you wanted it lifted. That's what counts.

 

Im biased....... i love the lowered look but a good lifted rig is hott too but i would have gone with bigger rims but thats me, lookin good tho

 

Im happpy to see you changed your mind for the better, lifes alot better higher in the air then lower to the ground
