Go with a 3" body lift, and the 7" suspension lift. Do it once, do it right, don't worry about it again. Body lifts really aren't that bad to install.

 

Sounds good. I work in heating and air conditioning so I am mechanically inclined. I installed the rough country lift myself which was a pain without a lift but I made it happen. I just wanted to make sure I would be able to do the body lift myself as well. Thank you though, this is stuff I would be way too lost without the help lol

 

I don't know about 'by yourself'..... Having a spare body or two drifting about to help with the heavy lifting is sometimes necessary.

 

Well yeah lol I meant not having to take it to the mechanic. A case of beer and a buddy to help out and that makes for an alright job (hopefully!)

 

Your truck looks perfect! Why mess with that?? I know, it's a disease with no cure...

 

lol its an itch I cant scratch. I was very happy with the way it was but the new wore off and its time to go bigger!

 

but thank you, I take pride in the truck and love it. People always say "its a 2001 dude, you should sell it for something newer" I cant help but laugh when I hear that. I've got a good bit of money in this truck and wouldn't trade it for the world!

 

This. End of story.

What other places are you researching by the way?

 

I've tried RF as well but didnt get much help there. Im not a mechanic as im sure you can tell, so what I would like to do, and what I physically can do apparently are two different things! I would like to be able to run the 38-40's on my 1/2 ton axles but that just isnt possible without upgrading my gears or doing a whole axle swap which is costly

 

Thought "Pay to Play" would just skip you? hahahha
