    an adjustable wrench, close it tight around one tab and push out, repeat for the other side and you have a wider mount

    rancho shocks are wider then stock ones also.. you got to do what you got to do to make them fit.. beside you tighten it back back and brings them close and tight against the shock. Nothing wrong with that

    Did you trim the fender well and chop your cab mounts? How big is the leveling kit?

    Yeah you are definitely going to need to trim and chop...no doubt.

    People need to do that even to fit 11.5's

    And with such an aggressive tire I bet that won't even fix the problem entirely.

    There no way to lift the front over 3" without spindles, a drop bracket, or SAS. All of which are $1000+

    Ok this is a very newb question and I apologize for my ignorance but I am looking to possibly lift my truck 3", in searching I have found basically two options that fit the budget I want to keep, the Pro Comp 3" lift kit and Bilstein adjustable 5100's.

    If I go the Bilstein route do I only need to replace the front shocks? If yes, would it be beneficial to replace both front and rear with Bilstein adjustable 5100's? Also would I need to add any additional suspension components?

    Just looking for a complete answer as to what parts I would need, ideally I would like to replace all shocks. My main goal here is to get a nicer looking lifted truck with a little more ground clearance.

    Thanks in advance for any info on my ignorant questions.

    The bilstein route is in fact new shocks for the front. They are height adjustable, and you can keep your stock springs if you like. The rears are only $100 more or so and will improve the ride, but they are not completely necessary.

    Be aware that the procomp lift is known to ride fairly harsh.
