Ya its nice to have a friend that works in the tire indestry.Have you tried tirerack.com? they have pretty good prices their,check em out. Well i thought i wanted the 2.5inch leving kit,but i was out driving today and i saw a 2007scab with a six inch lift kit but by the time i turned our around to maybe catch him to ask him some questions,he was already gone,so now i dont know what i want,lol.But i want to figure it out in the next two weeks so i can get something,lol.

Don't go with the Skyjacker kit. Several people have had problems with that kit due to horrible shocks and bad ride.

Leveling kits don't add to suspension travel, they take away from it. If you add a 3" spacer, you lose three inches of travel.

No rubbing at all with these 17x8 with 5 1/2"BS wheels. Run 'em hard every day!
