Here is the kit I ordered

If you dont want to use blocks just order the spacers and the add a leaf seperate. Make sure you get extended shocks though.

The new rims had a negative offset which brought the whole wheel out a couple inches to make sure the tire would clear everything.
Thanks for the tips. What did you get for rims? 16X8 or 16X10?

The rims are 16x8, but I can't remember the offset and I am unsure of how to mesure that.

Some trucks don't rub with the stock rims you could always try em out first.

Default 1995 dodge lift

I have a 1995 dodge I plan on getting a 3 to 5 inch lift plus having tires put on. 355/60/20, the truck is approximatly 6'5" already. How tall would my truck be afterwards?

nice clean truck you got. I'd lift mine and put some 33's or 35's on it, but I don't got the $$$ for that.
