Guys your best bet is to stay stock. Once you start going up its a horrible addiction that you cant stop. Altho it is fun.

So Steve, how much total lift are you going to have with the combo that you are looking at?

Just getting the front end off the bump stops, if you go back a few pages I posted pictures of how close they are.
I'm looking at a 2.5" leveling kit from Rough Country for the front and the 3.5" blocks from the stock 2.5" rear.

I would have to see how big the blocks are on my truck.

I saw the pics, so basically you are doing an even lift to increase the front clearance on the stops.

The couple of inches in the front will bring it up enough, and I'm already raked, just look at the picture in my signature.

You could put it that way. But being a farmboy Ive never bought a "kit". My lifts involve nearly all custom fab work. It takes a longer and you really dont save any money but I can say this is my truck and I built it. And I can get rid of the blocks and lift with better springs and shackles. Big tires on lift blocks like to spin axles.
