    Thanks, just picked up a set from a member. Slowly gathering parts, will post up photos when its all done. May consider running just the spindle and billies on 0 with stock coil at while I have 265s until I can afford the 285s and then upgrade to 6".
    Still running the spacers with the pro wheels?

    Yes I still have the spacers on. I think I might need to get thinner ones. 1” or 3/4” what you think?

    The 4” spindle lift with a 2-3” lift in the rear should clear with no problem. I’m running 4” spindle with 2” block and 285/70. I had to trim just a little plastic.

    Here’s the comparison in the tires. Pretty much the same size.

    Yea that's the kind of stands I'm looking for. Are you still running the stock shocks on it or is it recommended to swap them out ?? I was always looking at this kit too. Screenshot_20190722-142619_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20190722-142619_Chrome.jpg

    I still have the stock shocks. Doing the spindle route keeps all your geometrical the same as stock. IF you go with 3” lift in the rear, I believe you’d need to get a longer shock. Are you gonna install the lift yourself?

    You can get the spindles and blocks for about $600. The lift is simple to install, so a shop shouldn’t charge too much. It took me about 5-6 hours to install it myself.

    Also, if you plan to go off-roading or carry a lot of stuff, then you might want to avoid the blocks in the rear and go with either an add-a-leaf or new springs.

    Off roading I really dont do alot. Once in a blue moon. Mostly haul tires in the bed and sometimes a small camper. So i should probaly go with the extra leaf and new spring just to be in the safe side ??

    Get ahold of Marie. She will piece together a kit that fits your needs/budget. I'd recommend getting bilstein b110 shocks for the rear as well as extended brake lines and Dakar leaf packs. Just do it once and you'll be happy.

    For the front if you want more than 4" lift you can get a set of coilovers like you posted (bilstein or OME or fox, icon, king, ads, however much loney you want to spend.

    Lots and lots of options and you'll want to continue on your research path here

    :cheers:

    Yes. The rear end with sag quite a bit with blocks. A lot of people use MaxTrac spindles. I found the ones in the pic for a great price on Amazon and have had no issues with them.

    Good luck! Make sure you post pics once you’ve had it installed.
