Truck looks really good. I used the 3" blocks on my RCX lift, and it was still a little low in the rear, so I added a pro-comp AAL and now it sits perfectly level. Ride is a little stiff but I would expect that with the beefier suspension. I have the nitro shocks as well, and they are pretty darn good. Not a Bilstein, but not a Gabriel either.

All in all, I got about 6" of total lift up front, and 5.5" in the rear with the 3" block and AAL. I love how it looks, but need bigger tires now. How do you like the MTZ's? I was thinking about getting them in a 305/75.

the stock wheels work, just dont look good IMO with a suspension lift. You can get away with the oem weels with a "leveling kit" (i.e. cranking the torsion bars on the 97=03s). Also, i like my tires a lot they're not the MTZs though, they are the Baja Claw radials. I can fit 37s with trimming so when my 35s wear down im movin up to 37s.

37's will probably rub in some places you don't want to trim, but this is dependent on how wide a tire you run as well.
