I'm going to have a handful of change to spend on a lift, tires, and maybe even rims for my '05 QCSB 2WD in the next month thanks to me overpaying in taxes...Basically I want 7 inches of lift and 35's, just not sure how to get there.

Figured I'd throw out all my options and see what you guys thought.

Lift:
1) Buy a used 6" Fabtech lift kit from a guy on CL ($600), throw in a 1" spacer and buy another block along with the nescessary hardware (probably another $100), the guy has shocks already, the front two are RC and the back are Fabtechs...I don't know what kind of shape they are in but I'd probably wanna upgrade those in the future...if I do I'm looking at another $200-300. (Right now this is my prefered option)
2) Buy a Doestch 7/4 lift which comes with everything I'll already need but is somewhere in the neighborhood of a $1000.

Tires:
1) 315/70r17 Nitto Trail Grappler ($1220 w/o replacement plan from tirebuyer.com)
2) 315/70r17 Hankook DynaPro MT ($1244 w/o replacement plan from discount tire direct, $1385 with the replacement plan)
3) 315/70r17 BFG AT's (I haven't looked into the price of these because they're my last option)

Rims:

I REALLY like these rims, I think they'll blencd well with the chrome of my truck, and if I decide to color match the grill and bedline the from and rear bumper it won't look to strange. Of course it helps that I can get them to my door fro abound 600 bucks as well. Plus, they're different!

So...those are my options...everything I'm preferrencing is at the top of the list, what say you?

 

Just for a reference, here's my truck right now with a 2.5" Daystar coil spacer, 1" rear block, and 285/70r17 Terra Grapplers.

 

I think you should you should tell that guy on CL to stick that lift up his **** and go with the Doestch lift. You really should specify weather you have a 2wd or 4wd drive though that way people can tell you different options, although I'm assuming since you want to go so high you have a 2wd. The Doestch isn't gonna necessarily be the best option for you. As far as tires go, I have run BFG for years and love them, although I went with the Trail Grapplers this time and so far they have surpassed my expectations.

 

Looks like I was pretty specific to begin with.

And what's wrong with the fabtech lift? It was on his truck for 10,0000 miles, just need the hardware kit?

 

They don't call it Junktech for nothing and there is a reason they are now in bankruptcy, and we still don't know what your driving guy.

 

Anyone else?
