didnt know i needed to change the gears too, that sucks! i didnt even think about it really. i might just have to stick to stock 33s with 20s then and just go a little wider, maybe 20x9s. if i do lift a bit and move to larger tire diameters what else would need to be changed along with the gears? i have a 2WD if that makes a difference

But keep in mind you dont HAVE to get the gears done right now or even at all. You asked how much did all of mine cost me. I paid 350 for my 3in spindle and shackle lift from a guy over on DT and bought my 2'' coil spacers from a guy here for about 30. Like I said I did all of the work myself and it wasnt really hard at all. I think the biggest damn headache I had was when I released the leaf spring from the shackle and even with the bed lifted as high as it would go I still have to get under there and literally pull it down far enough to align the holes to put the bolt through it. That part was a biotch. To go any higher I guess I will need a body lift but with that Warn grill and winch on the front, I not really wanting to take all that apart just to lift the body.

like i said i dont do any real offroading. so far i havent had any trouble with sand nor mud, but i dont go dune jumping either. and yes, i said the lift was pretty much just for looks. i have no plans of climbing mountains or driving on the beaches, just wanna sit up a lil higher in traffic

There is a guy over on DT that has 3'' lift spindles for $175 shipped and you can get lift shackles on ebay 50 or less shipped. I gotta link for 2 1/2'' coil spacers for $65 I think. That will put you where I am at and about the same price (a little cheaper I think).
Ill PM you the info.
