more lift lol

I just lifted my 2001 screw 2wd 3.5 inches and am now wanting more lol. I want to run either a 33 or 35 inch tire. more than likely a 35 ". I have a few options and i would like some feedback and yalls thaughts on these. option 1 i could buy a 2.5 inch leveling kit and switch out the rear 2" block with a 3 or 4 inch". Or option 2 i could get a 3 inch body lift w/ gap guards. Which combo do you think would look better with 35" tires? thanks for the feedback!

Do all suspension, dont go with a body lift, no offence to anyone that has one! 2wd's look so awesome with the control arms dropped down. Go with a 4" block in the back only. That should sit just right, and id go with 33's so you have plenty of clearance!

the only downside to a body lift is that your bumpers become absolutely useless after you use the brackets to move em up


DO NOT put a control arm/coil kit on. you will go through balljoints and idler arms every year (90 dollars for idler, 90 dollars for pair of balljoints, more money if you dont do your own labor).

buy a crossmember kit
