I just don't think my truck is big enough for the front bumper. Though, if I ever decide to lift it a few inches, I would defiantly get one.

Also, does anyone have any experience in leveling a 2wd 4.2? I wanted to put on leveling springs, but Rough Country says that the springs don't fit on a V6. Blocks are an option, but I don't want to feel every bump on my road. How bad is the ride on 1.5"-2" blocks?

Id do the 3.5" spindles with a 1" rear block, springs/blocks give you a rough ride, and are a lot harder on your front end

If I was to do that, would the truck look bad with the size tires that are currently on it? I can't afford to spend $1000 on some new tires right now.

I'll trade you 5 minutes with my girl for your center console. Best 5 min of your life.

Make it 10 and I don't get stuck with the kid that will most likely occur from said 10 minutes....

I might do the lift/level near the end of the summer. My must haves right now are the bumper and the elocker. Once those are done, I might start saving for the kit and some larger tires (Rugged Terrain up front and All Terrain in the rear).

How much would the the spindles and rear blocks cost?

I think the kit from rough country with shocks is like $400-$500

That's not too bad. Me and my dad could probably install it. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it
