Default lift

Well Im just stuck. I cant determine what I want more, the 6 inch sus. lift, 3 inch sus. lift, or the just the spindles. I am learning though thanks to you guys. I know the 6 inch is going to obviously cost more all around, parts and labor. But I think its my idea lift overall. Might just settle for the spindles for now. Also with the 6 inch Im sure I will have to sell my 22's because bigger tires for 22's is really expensive. I would probably purchase 18in MOTTO wheels and some 35 All-Terrains. Worst comes to worst, I can get the 3 in suspension lift from the guy on Craigslist and pay to have it put on and then decide on spending a little more for the bigger 22in tires. If I do a 3in susp. lift, will it level the truck or do I still need the spindles? And I was told that to be sure that I would not have to extend my steering do to a lift. Would there might be any further modifications when it comes to a suspension lift. I know I would have to do a front end alighnment. Ill have pics up soon.

The craigslist kit will level the truck. No steering extension. A 3in spindle is a suspension lift. Most 2wd kits actually are a spindle lift.

and bigger tires for 22s arnt just a little more. I spend 1300 on mine for 20s and they are some of the cheaper tires

Here is a link to it.

Its in Kentucky so that might be the only problem. If you want to order it brand new from roughcountry shipping is free so it ends up being 900 anyways. Maybe talk to the guy and get him down on the price. Never know.

Default Tires

Well Im looking for 22" tires as big as I can get without rubbing. I still have the factory suspension without any mods pertaining to a lift. I have on now 305 45 R22. I cannot seem to find anything bigger in 305's than 45 on the sidewall. I was hoping for like 305 65 R22 but no luck. I would have to go to 315 70 R22 which seems to be the next level up. Any ideas?
