Think you guys will be ok, if not add another leaf, get a block, or a helper spring. Not that much more. I got a set of blocks for the rear that should raise the truck another inch to 2 in the rear still havent decided what Im doing with them yet. Might want to sell.

Well guys I thought long and hard about taking my truck to get it done but I made up my mind and did it this morning in the driveway. It wasn't bad at all, the only problem I ran in to was the upper A arm. Other than that not bad at all. Truck looks great I'll post pics ASAP

I'll try and put pics up in the morning if not after work. Wheels and tires is a must hahah but it'll be a while. Saving to buy land and build a home at the moment so probably around feb-mar range going with some black xd series haven't picked a style yet wanted rockstars but everyone has them so those are out the window and I'll be putting so 33" graplers on as well

Definetly makes the truck look better with adding wheels & tires. Might start a fight stating your buying black wheels... lol I bought a set of xd wheels & tires a while back. I like them, the graplers are a little noisy at highway speeds but not as bad as I thought they were going to be.

Well that's a good deal that you're making the smarter investment first. Couldn't agree with u more on the rockstars. They look great, but a lot of people have them. Find something a little more original. Xd's are nice. Mud, trail or Terra grapplers? I like them all, but for my mostly highway driving went with the terras.

Well I'd love to put the Muds on it but it's on a 2wd, I just love the aggressive look of them. Just not sure of the durability of them since I'll be on mostly hwy to and from work. Hahah and if me wanting black wheels starts something with some ppl on here so be it. I've always loved the black wheels on certain trucks. And yeah mine and my wifes first priority is the land and house this truck deal has always been a hobby.
Blkstallion- not too sure I'd go with the 3" or not like these guys told me the kits run a little bigger than listed. When we finished the install yesterday I got my brothers input and he thinks it lifted the front closer to 3" instead of 2.5" and I'm EXTREMLY happy with it!!! Just my 2 cents though, good luck with it
Jerrybizzle- yeah I agree with you on being original. I want ppl when they see my truck to think something other than "man that's a nice truck I saw one like that the other day!" hahah itll be a work in progress

Pull up the picture in your album and there will be an img file listed below the picture. Copy that and use the mountain icon, that is at the top when u reply, above and paste it there.
