Just throwing this in there i have 3'' body and 3'' suspension all the way around and i sit a little higher in the front but that is what i prefer. I have a 4WD 1500. I didnt have to do anything to the control arms either.

If you ever look at a 4x4 spring you will understand why it won't work....it's way longer, and there spacers bolt in ours don't. Lookup daystar spacers they make them up to 2.5"

I found the Rough Country 2" spacers for 2wd. Seems stupid they have bolt on ones for 4x4 but not for 4x2.

My 4x2 has an identity crisis, it thinks it's 4x4...

I've found that even if one or both wheels is spinning, as long as they've got some traction, it'll keep going, once the tires are just spinning for the heck of it, it's done... And with a rebuilt 46RE I DON'T DARE use the transmission to try and rock it out...

That looks good, thanks for the before and after pics
I'm wanting to raise mine either 2" or 2.5"
What size tires are those ?
