Yep thank you all its finally clicking lol so i did a little research and if im gona take it off then i might as well just put a regular lift kit on it and for the price 3in vs 6in lift i might as well get a 6in. but now heres my next question i have 2 sets of wheels ive got 275/65/17's for in the winter so i dont screw my cepecks up in the winter with the snow and salt. and then summer i run 33's (Mickey T's) now if i get a 6in suspension lift will me stock tires work for the winter and will 33's with a 6in lift look like theres to much wheele well showwing? both sets of tires are brand spanking new so they dictate what i do for the most part

with a 6" lift the tires are gonna be small. You will want a 35" tire.

But thats totally up to you.

Also, some lift kits have backspacing requirements so OEM wheels may not work.

rancho is the only kit that advertises being able to use oem wheels. some guys have run them on other kits, but i'm not exactly sure if they had any problems or not.

I run my stock rims on my procomp 6" lift, but they are 18" rims. They slightly rub the tie-rod end at full lock. 17" rims will rub worse and limit your turning radius. Sell the "winters" and get some cheap metal 18" rims or get some with the correct back spacing (need 4.5" of back spacing)
