Spindle lift is less hassle and you could drop the 2.5 inch level to get that extra inch or leave it in there for 4.5

If you want good height with factory ride - get rid of the spacer, it's a bad way to do it. Go with 3.5" spindle kit and 3" body lift, you'll be 6.5" higher and your truck will still sit level

I have 3.5" spindle and 2" spacers on my 98 with 35s. The ride sucks, if I was keeping the truck is take the 2" spacer out and put a 3" body lift on

I would go with a spindle lift and you should be good to go.

It will ride a lot better and your front end parts won't wear out as fast with the spacer
