Here's the issue, once you start lifting you're only going to want to go bigger. So I say just go for the 6" lift

The day after I brought her home.


With a 2.5" leveling kit


With a Fabtech 6" lift




Oh yeah, by the way, my truck is a 2WD.

What's the big deal? If you want it lifted, lift it! Who cares what other people say??? It's your truck, do want YOU want to it. Until everyone else starts paying me for my truck, I'll do as I please with it.

Now go get your lift kit and be proud of your rig!

I cant make up my mind either. i want to do the lift kit but i dont want anything bigger than a 3-4 i found a 2.5 leveling kit and a 2 inch lift kit dont really need anything much bigger. i just want it to be mine. but at the same time not get screwed or have bigger problems doing one or the other. any input would be helpful.

my truck is pictured

just would like some input on both.

i know this is for suspension but thought maybe someone could point me in the right direction on this topic as well. a westin bullbar on a 2004-2008 truck would like to know what u think of it and would like pics so i can see if i like them on there. Im currently stuck in iraq so i cant just go and find what i want.
thanks also for that..

Jon - You're driving a 4WD so stock you're already 2" higher than my truck, but see my post above and you'll see the transformation of my truck from stock to lifted. You'll also see what a Westin bull bar on these trucks look like as I do currently have one on my truck. Here's a head on shot though to give you an idea of what it would look like on your truck from the front.



Let me know if you have any other questions. My response though is to lift that bad boy because if you go with a 2" lift you're only going to want to go bigger in the end.

Ok man maybe that works for you lol...but i cant do that to my soon to be wife...i have the Z that she can ride in but the truck is so much fun

so i was looking and i cant go bigger than a 3inch liftkit. so what should i do the leveling kit or the suspension lift kit.

i am ordering the westin pushbar today with lights. did u have to take the front towhooks off to put this thing on.
