    No problem at all. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want!

    Just didn't know if you had seen that thread or not.

    Here's what I would do if I was in your shoes:

    Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and ask for the ChadsPride kit

    Did not see that one yet lol

    Gf liked the look of 4+ inches of lift with 18-20” wheels plus tires. But I myself prefer 16-17s on a fatter tire so, trying to get in between for both our likes. Lol

    Yea I saw the post on the other thread. Already screenshot that actually lol

    Thx a ton! That price Is perfect for my budget lol just gonna have to figure out wheels & tires after

    FE7E61DC-6BB6-41FC-8C89-BBFCFA3D1B10.jpg Tell me about it lol

    I had mostly seen the 2-3inch lifts with OME & such. Knew about the 6.5” lift but had no idea there was a 4”. Which looks awesome
    & fits a good size tire. Probably will end up ordering the same thing you have. How much total lift will that be? & what did you do for wheels & tires?

    I've got this so far.

    Front:

    Maxtrac 4" spindles
    2016 TRD OR shocks & coils
    (those gave me 1 extra inch of lift up front for a total of 5" front)

    Rear:

    Dakar leaf packs
    RCD Bilstein extended rear shocks
    They are called 5112s or something IIRC

    Looking to go to a taller coil (884) this year
    and bump the front up to 6"

    Wheels:

    Stealth Custom Series F5
    17x9 3.5bs -38os

    Tires:

    Nitto Ridge Grapplers
    285/70/17

    More worried about how to get the back to lift that high lol have never done leaf springs. Just messed with blocks lol

    Do 17's with 285's which are basically 33x11.5.
    My old set up, 17x9 with 285's. I later went to 35's then changed my wheels when it was time for a new set of 35's.

    Oh yeah. Taller coils, coil spacers and all that jazz will add lift on top of the 4" from the spindle.

    BUT, when you get out of the standard 4" lift range (this is all specific to 6lug 2wd trucks) and closer to the 7" range....

    You will enter the realm of 'possibly' needing aftermarket upper control arms to get your alignment back to spec.

    The back is easy brother. Just get full replacement leaf packs.

    Then you can always play with ride height by adding or removing a leaf.

    or adding an axle shim also​

    To keep it cheap for now you can do a 2" block. There' a 4" kit that comes with spindles, new rear shocks, 2"blocks & U bolts.

    Ah that’s great to hear lol. I’ll gladly stay under 6.5” for a while. First step will be ordering the special lift in April-may then wheels. From there maybe save up for UCAs
