I've got 2" taller springs up front on mine (Skyjacker), and a long-leaf add-a-leaf in the rear that lifted it 2". Easily clears 33" tires, and with just 2" lift up front I didn't have to worry about control arms or the track bar.

Thanks. I wasn't trying to show off the truck so much as to show what 2" of lift and 33" tires (285/75/16") look like.

It was just painted a month or so ago. The color is 2015 Corvette Shark Grey Metallic (used to be driftwood).

The rims are Dick Cepek Torque rims 16x8". The first time I saw them I thought "those rims are going on my truck". I didn't get them till over a year later, but I finally did and have been pleased with them. As an aside, a 285/75/16" tire just barely fits under the truck where the spare tire goes (and that right there drove my tire size decision). That and my wife said she didn't want to have to jump up to get into the truck after I lifted it. She still hasta grab the passenger side grab handle and hop and pull herself up, but it's not too bad.
