    I have seen some good ones on ebay that will fit your truck. The 2wd lift kits are pretty cheap so check it out!
     
  4. That, and a body lift works as well. Fairly cheap and doesn't touch the suspension and driveline except for a steering extension and fuel filler neck extension

    i was actually just looking at a leveling kit so i can fit a little bigger tire underneath but ive been seeing that u need to adjust the camber to. is that necessary for only 2 inches?
     
  6. An alignment should take care of it. Just take it and have the front end aligned. You have to have it aligned anyways

    one more thing wat is the biggest tire i culd run without any problems?
     
  9. With a 2" leveling kit you could run 30s I'd say. With the 3" body lift you can clear 31s

    alright i have 14 inch stock rims and the only all terrain i culd find was the BFG's . are they any good?
     
  11. Depends on what you want to use them for. They're a great all around tire, not so good in the mud.

    I dont blame you, heavy off roading leads to more money in repairs

    Yeah, BFG's are good for light trails and the occasional puddle

    ive been looking around and ive figured out that im doing a 2 inch leveling kit and a rough country 4 inch suspension lift for around 500 dollars which is cheaper then i wuld have expected. but with the 4 inch suspension would i need to add a driveshaft spacer?
