    i'm apologizing to the op i made a post just to tell him what my experience has been so far especially since our usage of our trucks is relatively the same. i appreciate other peoples opinions and understand everyone has 1. i in no way attempted to say mine was the best. how my truck is lifted was based on recomendations from my local 4wd shop before i became a member of tw. at this time it's the best option for me. i stand by my statement that the truck rides better than it ever did with a factory suspension which with a spacer lift it retains most of the factory components so i can only credit that to the larger tires providing more of a cushion. i don't care particularly to be called a liar in turn i may have taken it the wrong way. this would be why i usually don't make comments in a thread like this although to me all comments should be welcomed and respected. as some one who has worked on vehicles and equipment for the last 30 years i'm not an idiot nor am i an expert. sorry op that your simple question turned into all this

    The point is not to keep people from posting, just the opposite, we learn from people posting their opinons not shutting us down.

    Go with Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road . I had lots of questions prior to buying. She was a wealth of information, without the hard sell. And I asked a lot of questions over a couple weeks before pulling the trigger. To avoid acute driveline angles, avoid changing UCA's and still have the ability to go with 255-85/R16's, I ended up getting OME 884x, 1/4' driver's side spacer to correct lean, and HS 3 leaf AAL's from her. Love the way the truck handles on and off road. Much better than stock.
