no you still can you would just be putting a leveling kit spacer on top of the 6 inch lift spacer that they give you.

Thats like i was tellin you w/ the CST kit. If you had that, then a leveling kit AAL, you would have almost 10" lift, 8" compared to the 4wd lifts. Substantially higher than anyone else out there. With that kind of lift, you could run 22/24's on 37/38's easily (thats what I wanna run ultimately)

I think i will end up going with the CST with their shocks. i found it for $1999.99 or something like that. Go with a spacer up front and bigger block or AAL in the rear. But what im curious about is will it look dumb with 35s? I dont want to regear with 37s.

Thanks man but I never ran the 6 inch with 33s or the 8 that I have now with 35s. As soon as I got it lifted I put the newer tires on there to fill in the wheel wells. The regearing issue is questionable too. You can probly still have 37s with the 3.55 or 3.73 gears that you have and be ok, you will just have a power loss. Regearing is a great way to get the power back too and its really not that expensive to do. Parts $150 and labor $150 = 300 bucks for a 2wd

Maybe look at 37s that are 12.50 wide. I know the stock rims are like 7 inches wide so maybe you can get away with a skinnier tire until you get the rims that you want.
