Post Pics of 4x2's

Does anyone have a 3in body lift with 3in spindles on a 4x2 with 33in tires? I have That minus the spindle and was checking to see if it will look alright, or is it more worth it to just throw money into preformance options. Also how do you post pics on here?

Hey, thanks guys. The truck looks great...kinda made me wish i went with the suspension lift instead of the body. By the way how much did the suspension lift affect the ride of the truck? And how do i post pictures on the board?

Yes the ride stiffened up.....but if you want to go high you must make sacrifices...If you only want the 6 inches (lol) then go spindles and body to retain most of your ride, the tire change may stiffen up you ride alittle. But be warned 6 inches wont be enough (lol) 9 1/2 is the only way to go. That what I am shooting for. By the end of the year I will be there hopefully. DAVE

I will let Davensa speak for himself but it really depends on what you change. If you opt for a spindle switch out your ride doesnt change it stays stock however if you do what Dave myself and others have done and switch out coils, upper a arms, shocks etc....the ride does stiffen up.....I have a 3.5 suspension lift not spindle lift....I luv it....as another member put "caution it will never be high enough...." he's right because I plan on doing the 3 spindles next...I also have 305/70/16 which are oh so close to 33's....more like 32.5 or 32.75

Here a link to see a pic or two of my 4x2

silverback-
I like your pictures. I have the 3" spindles and I think I am about to go with the 305s like you did. After seeing your pictures, I really like how it looks.
