If you go more than 2 inches, find yourself a spring compressor for the passenger side. Driver side goes easy, but just cant get enough on the passenger. And be careful not to break the sway bar links. I tried to unbolt them to get them out of the way. Didnt go so well and found out they are expensive little parts. I went 2.5 and need longer shocks. Drives fine, but even going slow over speed bumps maxes them out and doesnt feel good.
I have 3" and it has a dropped track bar and a drop pitman arm and new shocks as well as replacement + 1" rear blocks and shocks with new uppper and lower front arms. Over kill yeah but it drive like a stock truck.
Figured. Looks like I'll stick with 35" tires and 6" suspension. Would like to go bigger but rather not put the extra stress on everything. Will be cheaper too which is nice
