Smile Lift Kit

I have an 05 Screw and was wondering if anyone out there also has one but running 6 inches with 33's bc i just put brand new 33's on it and wasnt planning on lifting it. but now i want to, but dont have the money right away to lift it and put 35s on it.....or would it be better for the looks sake to put a 3 inch body and get 35s....if the body lift is it really diffcult.....opinions???

Don't run 33s on a 6 inch lift. It will look ridiculous. And you can fit 35s with a good level kit, you don't have to go through the pain of a body lift. A 4inch suspension and 35s is pretty good also.

6" lift and 33" will look a little silly. I wouldn't do a body lift, go full suspension lift and wait it out.. Or see if someone will trade you 35" for 33"s.

Or level your truck, and keep saving up $$ until you can afford 6" and 35".

Do you mean 3" body lift and 33", not 35"?

i was running 325x60x18 (33x13) with my 6" lift for a while. and in my opinion, it did not look "silly". sure, it could have looked better, but it looked ok i think due to the width.

Mines an 03 and I had 33s for about a year and a half. I have a 6 inch lift. Its not TERRIBLE, but 35s are much much better.
