Ok, I decided to go with the TT lift and Warrior Shackles in the back for about 2", hopefully... I'm also going to get new wheels/tires, going with some 18s (haven't decided which yet). Will 285/60/18s work for me, I think they will.. tahts the plan for now, thanks for your help everyone...

Cause those tires are almost equal to 32x11.5's :D
 






Dont know why I need to defend myself, but I decided on this b/c I cant go muddin since its a 2WD V6 (limits the possibilities), and I dont like the look of lowered anything, let alone Xs. I like a little lift, bigger tires and hrome wheels.. Yeah it's different but I like that look the best.

Thanks for your help Alec... peace

And I think I might be pickin up Lowdpypes tires from him, thanks for the reference
 






I went mudding stock. As long as you go with help you can go anything you want :D
 






Hey now I'm contemplating a 3" lift kit, I can do it with one of my friend's dad... A little more costly but I think beneficial in the end... Where can i find one?
 






Well, there's a 3" body. Personally, I'd rather do a 2" TT/War lift and trim a little. Using a body lift for your only lift isn't the best, and it won't help your handling either.
 






Are you talking about a 3 inch spindle lift? That would probably be the best way for you to go. It is also probably the most expensive though. Pro Comp sells the spindles you would need.
 






Unless he has a 4x4. The spindles are only for 2wd.
 






Yup, I know he spindles are only for 2wd. He posted earlier that he has a 2wd and I didnt know if he was talking about a body lift or spindles.
