rugged look

I have a 2006 Supercrew 2wd black, which I wish i would have gotten a 4x4 but I want to give it a rugged look still. I was thinking about putting a 3'' leveling kit with some 20'' in rims and a pair of 35 or 33'' Nitto mud grapplers which ever will fit. What would look best a body lift, leveling kit what tires.

I'd go with the body lift and a leveling kit. You could fit 35's with that combo.

To my knowledge they do not make a 3" leveling kit. For one it would make the nose higher than the rear. With my 2.5 leveling kit it has the front suspension opened up as far as you can go without hitting the coil.

Wandell knows his stuff and wouldnt steer you wrong. Also the way he mentioned is about the cheapest ( money wise not quality ) you can get out raising the truck. Thats probably the way I will go.

There is a company that makes a 3" leveling kit...it was in another thread on this forum. It was hella expensive though.

a leveling kit alone shouldn't cost more than 100, install shouldn't be more than 100-25, and then the cost of an alignment~$50... 475 sounds a bit too steep...

So what would be a good price to estimate how much it would be for a 3'' body lift, 2.5'' leving kit and some mudd graplers 35? I know the tires would be the most expensive part but I have a friend who works at discount which he gets a reasonable reduction on these big size tires

You can check parts prices online, but the labor charges for a body lift installation will kill you. Probably $500 to $800 to install the body lift.
