    Thats the exact kit i got, and added the top plate spacer. That will give you all the specs of it.

    Yeah it makes sense, and I haven't been saying it doesnt make sense. But Just know the 1/2 spacer isn't NEEDED, it can be used to get a full 3inch lift yeah, but there is no NEED for that extra 1/2inch of lift. The trucks level without it, and the spacer adds no performance to the vehicle.

    All I'm saying is, the more lift the front end has, the more stress on the joints, and the harder it is to align. If you want the full 3inches, that's fine, I'm not saying don't do it, just know it's not necessary to get a level and lifted looking truck, and it's not necessary to fit 33's under the truck. It's purely your choice though

    Yea. I know, and i wasnt getting upset or anything. Just was saying what all i got. It kept sounding like i was just adding all kinds of spacers and i just wanted to clear that up, lol

    Yea. I would like to find a 16 rim that i like, because i just put some 265/75/16 bfg's on it about 12,000 miles ago, but the one rim i really like is in a 17, and i hate to spend 1500 on new rims and tires. So i dunno, once i decide thats when ill put my lift on. I wanna do both at the same time.

    I'm 99% sure that BFG has a proration on their tires and would pay you for the remaining tread so it wouldn't be too bad

    Either contact BFG direct or go to the store you bought the tires from and ask, I had a set of BFG on my subaru, has them for 20k, got a new rim and tire, they prorated me the 40k left of the tires in their guarantee. It wasn't a lot, but saved me a good chunk of money
