I just purchased a 2006, 2500 mega cab, diesel 4x4 and love it! I also have a 90' diesel 2wd long bed as well. I have a question that may or may not have been asked. I want to purchase the 2" front end risers, but when I finally get a lift kit, will I still need this spacer or will I get rid if it? does the lift kits out there compensate for the 2" drop in the front end?

I am also wondering what size tire I can put under this thing without a lift? 35" 37"? safely.

I got mine from Hell Bent Steel for $75, brand new on e-bay. Put them on myself with no problem, took me a little bit longer than others (4hrs)lol, but it happens I guess. This is an after pic. If you have any questions or want more pics, just lemme know.

you can fit 315's on there as long as they're on a 17" rim. You'll need the right offset as well. as an example, the hummer rims will bolt right up (minor trim on the inner hub area) with their 315-75r17's.

the spacers will come out with a lift. they swap out the springs to get the lift.

btw, welcome to df...
