    I dont think all that can fit my budget.

    Also with the spindles (4') can I make it 4.5"?

    4" is all you get w/ spindles, they are not adjustable. if you add the front 5100s, you can add 0.85, 1.75 or 2.5" to the front as they ARE adjustable

    dont forget your 285s will add another 1" to ride height

    wait, my rec wont fit your budget, but you want to look into LT fronts?!!

    I think I'll do the spindles first, wait some time then put the Billies. If 4' isnt enough, the billies arent to expensive and can be done relatively fast.

    I've been reading all these long travel threads. I'm not going to need UCA's or Fender flares will I?

    Honestly, if you think 4" won't be enough with spindles you might as well go 6". If your questioning it now, you will regret it later.

    So since you are also go this same route, what are you going to do to level it out? I will defintely post pics.

    Well the only reason I'm questioning it is because I havnt seen a LB with 4' spindles, and no one has posted a pic (im waiting :D) . I honeslty dont want a 6' lift. I like to drive fast and I know ill flip the truck with that much of a lift. Also as I mentioned in my original post I'm not too tall, and I really dont want to hear all the jokes because I have a "tall" truck.

    One question wasnt answered, maybe it was overlooked so I will ask it again. With the camburg 4' spindles I'm not going to need fender flares right?

    Also since another user commented on the rear AAL's, I thought id ask again to make sure, and get other comments (seeing as SoCalBlack08 is also going to do the same set up as me, you knowledgable people can kill two birds with one stone). The Question: I dont like that "rake" look, Id like to have my truck as level as possible, will a 2' AAL in the rear be enough or what would you guys do to level out the Taco?

    Again, thank you all for the help and information. Ill make sure to mention you guys when I make my build thread. All answers greatly appreciated.
