Spindle lifts basically just move the hub down, no change in the suspension at all. The best option hands down for a 2wd.

I have a 2.5" level on my truck with 295/70/17 mud tires and it was the best decision I've made!

Your not 2wd either. Completely different suspension setup. AA level is not ideal for 2wd truck. Spindles aree

I think I've made my mine up to go with a 3" or 3.5" spindle lift since it's the best in the long run now to start saving!

I can also vouch for the Rough Country spindle lift. Ive had it for 2 years with no issues whatsoever. Only thing is the shocks aren't that great but ride fine on the road.
