ok i can't afford a full susp lift...but would like a little lift..whats my best...
 

options? a leveling kit and an aal? just a leveling kit? i dont tow anything so im not concerned about that...just want a little bit of lift...thanks

2" leveling spacer. Got mine off ebay from AutoSpring for 92$ shipped, and it lifted my truck 2", and supposedly can clear 35's

for those with just the 2" leveling kit...does it look ok with stock 18's and stock tires? or does it need the 33's or 35's to look good?

A leveling kit will look good with stock tires and wheels, larger tires or aftermarket wheels and tires.

:banana: This is my 04 with a leveling kit and stock tires on 18" rims.

good luck

I just ordered my 2" leveling kit a few minutes ago. I bought it off of ebay for 92 dollars shipped as well. Go with the autospring leveling kit

do you guys get the powdercoating option?? i live in ny which can be rust prone....is it even worth it?

Nah I didn't. I live in MO wich is quite rust prone but I didn't think it would be worth it. You won't even be able to see it much. I had a leveling kit on my last truck for several years and I took that truck through all a lot of mud, snow, and always drove in the rain haha. It looked just fine.
