What do ya think??

Would it look terribly bad with a 3" spindle lift and a 3" body lift, while still running stock sized tires? Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thats a tough one. I like big tires so I'm partial. I've seen some superduties that are lifted with stock wheels that still look good but they're superduties... Are you planning on going bigger later?

Ah, sorry. it's a two wheel drive. I will definately go with a bigger set of tires eventually. I have Terra Grappplers right now, and they only have 3,000 miles on them. Was kinda hoping that they wouldn't look so bad.

you could do just the spindle lift and it would look not too bad. I think. I wanna do a spindle. no BL, just cuz all yer doin is raising the body.

it may look kinda funny since youd be adding 6+ inches of lift and running 31-32" tires. try and find a nice used set on craigslist and sell the nittos if you want to do it now or just do it in steps

Yes, but it will look awexome when you finally get new tires.

should look fine. they will look a little small but since its only gonna give you about 3.5"-5.5" (depending if you get the lift coils also) it should be just fine. it would be like a 6" with 33"s

Just to throw this out there.. If you get springs you will need a camber alignment kit, new shocks, and the truck re-aligned also so just something to keep in mind when planning the costs.

I know it's an 05 and 4x4, but it will give you somewhat an idea.

2.5'' leveling kit + 3'' body lift + 1'' or 1.5'' aal

Now, the spindle kit that I am looking at is a 3" spindle kit with spindle, shocks, rear blocks and all hardware. It says that there is nothing else needed. Do I use my same springs? I am kinda confused as to how this works.. Also, will the kit accomodate for the rake, or will I need to still level it?
