2wd lift spindles...what next..?
I did the airbagit 3" lift spindles. I thought I'd be happy with the lift, but I want more... of course.. 
Thinking of doing..
3" lift springs
3" rear blocks OR add-a-leafs (pros/cons?)
bilstein shocks front and rear (extended or stock length?)
Is there a site that sells everything together reasonably, or should I piece them from from sites... if so, which ones? Do I need to do extended brake lines? And do I need extended shocks?
Thanks,
Ian

You dont want more than 2in of lift between the control arms. Trust me lol
Tell us about the spindle lift. Pics, install, etc. Im wanting to do this pretty soon
And I dont understand what everyone has against the body lifts. I think they look fine.

Spindles are good. I didn't do the install and a friend of a friend who's a mechanic do it. He had access to the alignment machine too so he was able to do that for me also. He said it was pretty straight forward. I told him about swapping the brake lines and at first he's like hmm.. dunno about that, and then he said while he started taking the passenger side off he could see it'll work because the bend is different.
I'm extremely happy with the way the spindle leveled the truck, the truck looks completely level now. Just would be happy with a little more height.
I've posted before there's 2 things to look out for with the airbagit spindles:
1--they're raw, so they should be painted, or powercoated.
2--they don't have the hole drilled on the drivers side for the ABS sensor.
Now after knowing this I wish I would've painted them, preferably powdercoated, but here in Arizona it won't be as bad as being back east. And I wish I would've pre-drilled the hole.
