half ton or 3/4 ton? I get questions all the time in my 95 2500 about the amount of lift on it, i laugh and tell them its stock. I have 33's on it with no rubbing at all. With 2" leveling spacers i will clear 35's, up to 37's if i want to lose some plastic. If its a 1500 32's maybe?? then with a leveling kit youll be sittin pretty on 33-34's, 35's with plastic trimming. If your planning on these tires i'd find wheels with more positive offset then stock 3rd gen wheels. Also expect slight to moderate rub at lock, more if you run them stockers. But yes, they will fit.

The only full "kit" I would consider is Superlift's 5" kit. cost around $1300 Nothing else using the stock geometry is thought out very well. From there up I wouldnt buy a kit i'd piece my own kit together, and make the long arm links and brackets myself, or buy DC's long arm box kit.

There are lot's of good entry level kits out there on the market, look around at diff web sites and get an idea what is in one kit and not the other, the more complete a kit the better.
