First off, I have a 05 XLT 2WD. I have read threads about everything from shocks that are used instead of the leveling kits. I have also been looking at a Skyjacker 3" lift. I am looking for an stance that has some attitude. I am also running stock wheels, and don’t have the money to upgrade to the larger wheels. Well that and I just bought new tires (265/65R17 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor)

Any ideals on what I should do?

 

Cheap option leveling spacers.
If you need to Chang the shocks I say go withe Ranchos Quick Lift or the Blistin.

 

x2. Get a leveling kit for the front ($100) and an Add-A-Leaf in the rear ($100). If you do change shocks, get the Rancho RS9000XL QuickLift front, RS9000XL Rear. I have this on my truck and love it. I also had the leveling kit + AAL prior to these and loved that set up too. I just swapped to the Rancho's since the shocks went when they did anyways. Hope this helps. OH yea, the Bilsteins are back order... ask anyone on the forum. no one can get any.
