    3" suspension lift, 1" body lift, sway bar no mas, 33x10.5x15 bfg a/t, tint, Bestop Supertop.
    I have about $1500 to spend on the truck, I was thinking removing the body lift and getting new tires, probably the bfg a/t 33x10.5x15 or the 32's as well as a matching spare. This is how it sits now [​IMG]

    I also want to put a spray in bed liner and install a few of the Core Trax tie downs in the bed. Any suggestions or input welcome.

    I would get rid of the body lift and get some new tires. You will be much happier.

    None taken i bought it this way, the lift will go. I think it'll look better lower with the 33's if they'll fit.

    33's might rub without the 3" body lift.

    You might consider a 1" body lift rather than taking a sawzall to your sheet metal. That would also leave ideal body clearance for future sliders.
