Default another 2wd lift thread

do the lift spindles put the front track width out any wider than stock? and would 33s fit with lift spindles, 2' lift coils, and 3" lift blocks and still be a level stance? my front is about 1.75 lower than the rear and i know the coils will settle a little after a while.

Spindles will make the front tires stick out more make it look like a baja style when looking straight at the truck. 33s will fit with a 3inch spindle lift alone my girlfriends brother had it done to his first truck before he got a hemi

Spindles do push out the wheels! Yes the 33's should fit just right!

Nevermind. They aren't on my phone. I guess I deleted them a while back. The difference shouldn't be more than 2" wider I THINK. As they sit in stock form, the front is actually narrower than the rear. 4X4s front end is wider than a 2WDs. So you might match, if not, be slightly wider, than a typical 4X4.
