Default Pics/input of 3'' body and stock wheels and tires

Does anyone have any pics of a 1500 with a 3'' body lift with the stock tires and 20'' rims? If not, what are yall's opinions of this lift and using stock wheels and tires? I've got a leveling kit on already and am about to do a body lift. I was planning on doing 35'' tires on 17'' or 18'' rims. But i'm really debating that now because that will cost at least 1500 dollars. What I may do is just get new rims on 20's and eventually do tires. I'm not sure. Any pics or input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Remember me from your leveling kit thread?.. Did you end up doing your leveling kit yourself?? Mine still sags a little with the dayster kit, what about yours?

I ended up paying a friend who owns a shop, my dad wouldn't let me do it. Haha. And yeah, mine still sags a bit. I definitely notice a difference, but I actually know what I'm looking at. I can also really tell a difference in the cab, even though it's only 1.5'', i can still feel it in the cab. But i do wish it would have been a bit more of a difference. But I did the leveling kit knowing I was going to do the body lift as well. So that will definitely get the lift i want. Also, any thoughts on my original question? Haha, the lift with the ole stockers?

Yeah i hear ya. deffinitly better than stock tho, and for 60 bucks.
But to your question, i personally think that 17s with 33s or 35s would look right with the PA body lift. Im getting 33 all terrains on stock 17s when i get mine done. No need for 20s. Definitly get new tires tho.

Or do you have stock 20s?? then just get new tires. Rims arent really a big issue on a truck.
