Thanks dude, that looks sick!!!!!! Im bout to get the 3.5 spindle lift on my truck next weekend hopefully, ive already got the 3 BL. Ive got some questions in the pic it looks like you trimmed your valence, to run 35s is your truck regered? Because alot guys on here say you have to regear if you go bigger than 33s on a 2wd........

You don't have to regear but it is definitely recommended. Depends on how you use your truck too. I have the 4.6 with 3.55s and I have about 90,000 miles on 35s. No issues so far, but it is definitely a dog. I never tow anything but a single Jetski trailer and it does fine. If I towed anything bigger, I would definitely regear to 4.10s or 4.56s.

thanks red02fx4 thats the look i was goin for haha, and for chase yea it is trimmed because if i had the wheel at full lock then it rubbed and also when i went off roading it rubbed bad too. Im running stock gears and its doin just fine, i dont tow anything so i dont have to. One day i will but just no need to anytime soon.

I ran 33's on my v6 and it wasnt bad with a manual. You would be alright with 35's until you could change them, probably be a dog above 55mph

Man your truck is really making me want to just go do it TTH! I have been saving up to get the 7.5 inch Fabtech susp lift and put 35's on but I need about another $2000 right now. If I decided to go with a setup like yours I could go get the body lift tomorrow and at least have something in the meantime.

What do you think, should I hold off to do the full 7.5 or should I go with your setup?

Save and get exactly what you want. Trust me, as I have been through a few different set-ups. So far, fabtech long travel is where its at. Dont settle, but lift spindles and body lifts are in no way bad. Been there, done that too
