Default Ok so i think i got it

so i think i figured out what i want to do as far as the lift goes, and think it will look good. im thinkin 4" coil spacer in front and 2" aal in the back. that would raise it 2" overall and level the front right? i dont want the front higher than the back, so thats why i am thinkin the 4" so its only 2" level on the front. should even out right, right? let me know guys. total price with shippin 193.

3" suspension lift with 33" tires or 5" suspension lift with 35" tires are two of the best looking combinations when you're talking about a truck that sees a lot of asphalt.
A 4" coil spacer would raise the front 4" and put it about even with the rear when you add a 2" AAL.
If you get 4" coil spacers then you'll want to be looking into a track bar relocation bracket and longer control arms.

Mine has 2.5" in the front and 2" AAL in the rear.
Keep in mind that AAL's will give you a stiff ride in the rear when you don't have a bit of weight in the bed.
5" blocks to replace the stock blocks might be a better bet.
The best way to do it is to get lift springs for the rear but they're expensive.
If you wanted to go with 4" in the rear instead of 2" then you could do a shackle flip.

Can't use lift shackles on our truck unless you flip them.
