I might do that eventually, if I did 4" spindles and my 2" coil spacer technically that would be a 6" suspension lift (with block in back of course). I think I'll wait on that though cuz I'm thinkin I wanna do a 3" bl next year or right before I get new tires the next time.

I think you should do the suspension lift first, they just look cleaner imo, I'm not even going to do a BL, Im just going to put a 6 inch kit on mine and call it good there.

Is you sway bar disconnected? If so how in the hell does the thing not tip over in a corner mine with worn bushings felt like it could easily flop on its side.

In theory you could add another inch or two in there then. All you would have to do it find the longer shocks to make up for it, and you would have to get bigger blocks in the rear.

2.5 inch spacer, and 2 inch add a leaf.

But then I would need bigger tires, and with bigger tires I look like a huge 4x4. And I don't like getting stuck in a little snow looking like that.

You know?
