5100's on 2WD stock 02?
Im about to get new rims and tires for my truck, and I would like to get the front end leveled out before I do so I can squeeze in 33's. At the same time, my stock OEM shocks are shot and I need to replace them. Can I use the 5100's on my truck? Thought I read somewhere that I had to have a lift on it.

Also, wheres the best place to buy Wheel + Tire combo deals? I am budgeted to about $1200 on the wheels and tires.

You truck does not have coilover shocks like the 04-10's. You can install Bilstien shocks but they will not give you any lift. You can add a set of Daystar coilspring spacers to level your truck.
