Nah I didn't have my glasses on. So my face was in the screen to read.

Plus I have looked at the under side of my truck and other enought to tell when it has a 3" lift. I would bearly give it leveled but no chance on a 3" lift.

Tomorrow I'll get some pics of my lower control arms so you will have a better idea of what I'm talking about.

What size tires are they 265/75/16 looks to be about right.

265/75/16's correct..when i get new shocks and springs im prolly gonna go with 2500 shocks, and 1500 springs and leafs..cause i really dont need to much stiffness and what not cause i dont pull much..i rarely pull anything over 5K pounds

i def need new shocks,springs,and leafs all around, along with a good set of 265/75/16 meats

EDIT..now that i think about it..i think ill put 2500 springs up front also..then that way its more level..and maybe later down the road go with 2500 leafs..personally i just dont wanna mess with all the rusted bolts on the underside of this thing..maybe ill have the new 1500 leafs beefed up a lil

wanna elaborate more in the bold..and for the record..i dont plan on going much bigger tires then what i have..at most im looking at 275's or 285's im keeping the stock rims, and im keeping the same size sidewall..

so why would i need bigger gears..im happy with my 3.55's..not to mention the trans is working great..so im not about to bother opening it up..although i could use a new pan gasket..got a lil bit of seepage

Would the axle off a 2001 1500 work on my 96? I know it would have duel piston brake calipers, so would I have to get brake master cylinder to go with it?
