Default Body Lift?

alright well I want just a lil lift like 2-3" body lift. I really would like two inch because I want to keep my 33" tires. I cant find a 2" lift that will fit my 2wd 2007 quad cab. I know the years are differnt so idh what to do. Any input is welcome or differnt suggestions.

yeah i dont think anyone makes a 2 inch body lift for the 06-08 models. I've had trouble looking for them before. What we did a while back we cut 1 inch off of every block so this guy could have a 2in body lift. We had to order 2" lift bumper brackets from performance accessories but that was it. Everything else fit great.

yeah, you could just cut 2'' off the blocks, and i would bet that you could adjust the bumper brackets down enough to work with 2'' of lift...

but IMO you should accept the fact that you have 2wd and drop it..

Just go with the 3" body lift. the extra inch wont be that noticeable anyway. 33's is actually ideal for only a 3" lift. It'll still allow you to articulate and be able to use the truck like it should. too many people have 35's that really shouldnt. The idea isnt to fit the largest tire possible, its to fit the RIGHT size tire. With a 3" lift, 33's are the right size tire

I've got a 3" PA lift on my '05 4x4, and I opted for 33" tires in order to keep the same diameter as when it had the 20's on it (which I hated). I could fit 35" tires, but I'm pretty happy with 33" A/T's. I don't think I'd go any bigger with just 3" of body lift. If I put a suspension lift on it I will go with bigger tires, but I'm happy with these.

As noted, it allows for a lot of travel

You'll be fine with a 3" BL and your 33s. Hell, Pyro has a 6" suspension lift and has 33s and to be honest, with his 4x2 I think 35s would fill the tire wells too full...

No, buy the performance accessories kit and it comes with all the brackets and extensions that you need.
