You'll be fine with a 7 inch 2wd lift. If you keep up on the truck, like you would at factory height, then you'll be fine. If something pops,breaks,snaps w/e fix it. End of story.

I have a 6 inch suspension and a 1 inch body lift. SO this 7/4 you talk about.

I am running a 34ish inch tire and can fit up to a 36. CHeck out my pics in my photo bucket account.

 

My only concern with buying the 7 inch lift is that my 285's will look tiny. Gonna go with a 5/2 or 5/3 and add a locker and gears first, then save up for 18x9's, wheels, a three inch coil spring and blocks or a leaf.

Only crappy thing about having a maroon truck is that I can't decide if I wanna bedline the bumpers and color match the grill or go with chrome wheels.
