That's something I haven't thought about. I only know about suspension lifts and don't know hardly anything about body lifts, but maybe that's the way to go. Heck, with a rear block and a body lift I might be happy with what I've got. I want to run 34's or 35's without it looking like its forced.

Not sure if this looks forced or not, I can see where a lot of people would want that extra inch, I could add it down the road I guess. But here's a couple pics to help show u how it sits.

That looks great, man...and no, not at all forced. I wasn't talking about yours at all. I'd take that look all day long. I'm looking for a little more height though, I think

Over that, the only other option I have seen is doing a 6" complete suspension lift. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though. I have an 08 2wd that I am putting a 2.5" in front and a 2" block in the rear very soon.
I think you mean especially on a 4wd. On 4wd you have to worry about cv axles as well.

I love your truck. Did that kit mess with ball joints and angles at all?

Nope, no issues with anything. And thanks a lot I appreciate it, haven't got a ton of feedback so sometimes I'm wondering if people think it looks like crap and don't wanna say it. Lol. And seriously, the ride is awesome, have the 35s at 40 psi and it rides like a dream.

yeah it looks good. I'm not wanting to go super high. Mine is gonna be basically for looks. Because it's 2wd. I gotta wait till my nitto 420s wear out so I can get new tires. Just bought them so I got a while lol.

Lol, yeah I guess I missed the memo about rainbows not being manly. Lol. Thanks for the compliment tho, maybe I can recapture the same pose in front of a strip club or some bikini chicks?... Hmmmm....
