lift it- 1.5" daystar spacer and some 285/75/16s on stock wheels or 265/75/16s on aftermarket wheels

my new truck at stock height with 265/75/16s and aftermarket wheels

From the looks of the terrain in the pics and the 4 wheeler in the back, you might as well lift it. You'd probably get more use out of it in your case.

Good luck on your choice.

Did your lift cause the tires to stick out that much in the front? Or is that just an illusion? Looks a lot different from the before pic. Looks good.

Thanks. Ive always liked your truck as well. It’s taken a while but I’m happy with how she looks now. Yeah the spindle lift pushed the front tires out plus I'm running a tiny spacer for break caliper clearance with the wheels. Rear wheel spacers are in the plan to make them stick out equally.

do a body lift, and then run 33's on your rims you have now. you have a 4 wheeler so i would assume you would go try and push through mud, even if you didnt have 4 wheel drive. haha but its up to you man!
