no i know that. i mean are you going to do a body lift, or a levelling kit. and if you get the levelling kit are you going to raise the *** end too.

IMO 35's are overkill and make a truck sluggish if you dont regear. 33's look very clean

a body lift just takes the stock body mounts out and replaces them with 1-3 inch spacers in order to clear larger tires..

levelling kits either replace the stock spring with a 2.5 inch longer one or give you a spacer to place on top...


regearing puts new gears in the axles to help move the larger tires. im not completely familiar with this though.. im pretty sure it helps when larger tires make your truck bog down it gets the rpm's up and makes the tires spin easier.

you have the 5.4 though so i wouldnt worry about 33's bogging the truck down. im not sure how it would react to 35's. i have seen many people on this board with stock gears and 35's though.

Auto spring makes a great leveling kit and they are on ebay. They also make a rear block and a rear add a leaf

youre going for looks so just do blocks. then for the front just get the spacers.

auto spring is a brand.

again, check suspension connection.

........................

there, youre set. good luck
