Post How do yall think this will look?

OK, I don't even have my new lift on and I want to higher. I was thinking about adding a set of AIM a-arms and keeping the leveling coils on. The only problem is how will my new 33" pro-comp AT's look with this lift? Any pics of a setup similar to this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Adding a-arms will not give your truck anymore lift, but it will ride alot smoother with the new aarms. I had the leveling kit and added the aarms and it increased driveability by 100%.

JSL,
I know it won't add more lift, but I was going to take the springs off and put the old oned back on, but you know how it goes, you always want to go higher. I now want to keep the springs on while also adding the spindles. I would have to add extended a-arms because you can't add spindles to the front leveling spring kit unless you have extended a-arms. This would give me about what you have. How do you thing this ~5.5" of lift would look with 33x12.50's?

Hey guys, I realy need to know if this will look good and work. The setup will be Fabtech 2" leveling coils, AIM lifted a-arms, and Fabtech 3.5" spindles with 33x12.50-17 Pro-Comp AT's mounted on Factory 17" wheels. 3" Fabtech blocks in the rear. Will it look good? Do these wheels have enough backspacing? Will they rub? Pics? Anything? Please
