im going spindles and blocks for sure, as far as going further i plan on getting the control arms and bigger coils but would add a leafs be the next step to getting the rear higher or are there other options. im looking to get around 6-7 of lift and having wider tires so i'll be getting spacers. just trying to use the tires ive already got on this truck. and if yall can add pictures of your lifted 2wds that would be amazing so i can put things in perspective better.

thanks,
james

You can buy lift springs without getting a whole lift for a 4x4. Wouldn't be as harsh of a ride as AAL's, and wouldn't require huge blocks either.

I'm interested in lifting mine a little, found a 2" lift kit, blocks for the rear, spring lift up front, and 4 new shocks included for $270.

well in that case my lift parts are as follows so far: 3.5" lift spindles, 3" blocks, lift coils, rear wheel spacers, and 4x4 lift springs.

my question is, will the 4wd lift springs fit the 2wd truck? and would it be better to do the coil spacers or get the lift coils?
