I have a 2003 flareside sport with the short bed reg. cab , Its already pretty high I mean I'm 6 5' and I still have to hop in it , I wanna decent lift that won't look stupid on such a short truck , I was thinking about doing tires between 33-35 inches and just doing a 3inch body or suspension lift , but does anyone know how it might look if i through a 3inch suspension along with a 3 inch body lift ? I really would like to know how that would look but I'm just looking for advice because i haven't seen a lot of these trucks lifted , my style truck that is. thanks guys , dave

 

A 3 inch body lift or a 4 to 6 inch suspension lift will allow you to fit 35x12.50's on a 10 inch wide wheel. If you install a suspension lift, I'd suggest the 6 inch Fabtech or 5 inch RCD lift.

 

Yea that 5 inch rcd would be Ideal.. but the cost may be an issue , can I use my stock rims if I put 35's ? , because If I go wider on the tires I'm going to need a wider rim to fit it right ?

 

Several members here have run 12.50 inch wide (305 and 315mm) wide tires on the OEM 7.5 inch wide wheels with no problems.

 

what do you think the lift alone will run me , is there any way I could keep it below 2 grand

 

I have a 3" Body lift and 34's to give you an idea. After the winter I will be adding a 6" fabtech susp lift and 37" tires. A body lifts going to run you $200 bucks and a susp lift such as a 6" susp lifts gonna cost you anywhere frome $1500-$2000 depending on where you get it. If you not able to do the intall yourself labor is going to depend on your area and who does it. I was quoted $500 for body lift and $800 for susp lift at my local susp place.
