OK i just ordered my 35inch tires on Ballistic wheels(pic below), tomorrow ordering my HBS 2.5 level spacer. Here is my question, There is a company selling Blistien superlift shocks, to "lift your truck up to 2inchs". If i have a 2.5 spacer and use the 2in shocks will that be to much strain on A-arms, Ball joints? I hardly off road just alittle playing in mud in snow.

Short answer, yes.

Youre options are...

1) HBS 2.5" spacer only
2) Superlift struts on 2" only
3) HBS 2.5" spacer, superlift struts on 0"

I don't know anything about the quality of superlift products, but their struts may provide a smoother ride than that stocks struts. I have the bilsteins on mine and they are definitely an upgrade from stock.

If you're wanting cheap, just go with the spacer. If money isn't an object, possibly run the superlift struts on 0" and the HBS 2.5" spacer.

Or the PRO RUNNER SS RIDE HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORBER ( http://www.procompusa.com/prodDetail...06&plID=108279 ) which gave me the full 2.75" lift and required a 3" lift in the rear to keep the factory looking rake of the truck. I run 315's on the factory 17's with 1.25" spacers. Plenty of clearance with 34.4" tires.

Yes, it will put stress on your suspension and wear out the parts faster. Just had mine rebuilt last Friday - lower *****, upper arms and inner tie rod end - but I had high miles on factory parts so they were needing changed out anyway.
