    Gonna have my current wheel and tire set up for sale soon since my new tires came today. Just seeing if there's any interest in them.

    285/75/16 Goodyear MTR Kevlar 4 have about 30k miles on them, one is brand new. $75 each for used ones. $250 for new one. I'd say the used ones are at 30-40% tread
    5 TRD Off Road wheels $250 for all
    Set of 4 Spidertrax spacers $140 for all

    So... the wife is forcing me to lift the new truck (muuuuuahahahhaha), now the serious contemplation begins. I've seen Aaron's rig with the ICONs, Phil's with the Kings, read a boat load about OME and Bilstein 5100s, saw stuff about UCAs and shackle flips, etc. Now I'm more confused then ever.

    We are looking for a mild lift 2.5" or so, relatively level with the rear end, but not to where the rear sags lower then the front with a minor load, comfy-ish on the street with good off-road mannerisms in the dirt. We don't plan on doing any serious wheeling and I doubt I'll ever get it to Moab. I know that UCAs are damn near a requirement as is shimming the drive axle to keep the vibes down.

    So, with that info - what do you, the almighty Taco Gurus of Tidewater, suggest (budget is ~$2000-$2500 installed)? Thanks in advance!!!

    I would eventually like to add Pilfreybuilt (?) aluminum bumpers from and rear, but those aren't much heavier than stockers.

    Not a drop bracket. It's just two spacers for the carrier bearing on the driveshaft
