I had the 2" spacers on my 02' and didn't have to extend anything, it rode a little bit stiffer but that's to be expected. It leveled it perfectly if not a bit higher in the front.
Crappy cell pic, but that's with a 3" body lift too

X2. after you buy new UCs, shocks and the spacer you will have spend just as much as a spindle kit. besides spindles are alot easier to install

Those are 33x13's in the pic with the body lift. But with just the spacer it would of been tight, I was going with a spindle lift next but i totaled it.
