This is how it sits now.

Attachment 292860

Tires are 33x12.5 and I'll be getting a new set soon.

I need a little extra clearance to make them ride perfect but will 3" make them look small? I was going to switch to a 4" rough country kit but the 3" bl with my spacers puts me at around 5" up front rather than 4" so I don't know if it will make them look to small to me.

I'm also still trying to decide between duratracks and bfg at.

 

That's like asking, "Do these pants make my butt look big?" It's your perception.

 

^^Agreed. Personally, I think they will look small if you go taller, but if you're getting new tires soon anyway, you can always just go bigger. But beware that it will wear on parts harder.

I think that the gaps created by the body lift will look goofier than the small tires though.

BFG ATs are garbage beyond 10k miles. I've heard good things about Goodyear Duratracs though. I've also had good experience with Cooper Discoverer STTs if you want a more aggressive tire. I also like the Uniroyal Liberator A/Ts I have on my truck right now.

 

I love my Duratracs. Tons of tread, don't wear all to quickly and look awesome.

 

I'm actually already sitting lower than I've ever seen anyone else with 33s. It's just a 2wd with coil spacers. Only reason I am leaning toward body lift is because its hard to align with suspension lift and it costs $400 more before the alignment.

And I would use gap guards and line the bumpers up right. I know suspension is better but the closest thing to offroad my truck sees is a dirt road.

 

if you dont want too much more lift and a little bit smaller gap go for a 2 in body lift

 

I guess I could get a jack under it and see what it looks like.

 

I thought about that too. My birthday is next month so I may ask the misses to get me one of the kits then so I can use my money on a decent set of tires that I didn't buy off some guy down the street that I can't get balanced so they have to be causing excess wear.

 

I may actually be able to get a set of them in 33x12.5 for around 500 with my work discount if I don't start my new job before I buy them.

 

Not sure if the drop brackets with the camber adjustment from a four wheel drive would bolt up to the twin I beam two wheel drive set up or not but just a thought. Ever contemplate just droping in a drive axle and transfer case and making it four wheel drive? Then you could easily find suspension lift components.

 

I had originally planned to, but I don't need a 4x4, I just like the look and want more height. I barely get my truck dirty.

 

It's all perception. I have a 1.5"/3" body lift (Hawaii laws), and a 4" suspension lift. I feel my 33" tires look a lil small on my truck.

 

Honestly, I would leave it the way it is. It looks perfect.

Installing a lame body lift will make many things not fit or line up properly and will look goofy. The frame will hang down, the bumpers will have to be relocated. There may also be issues with the fan shroud, shift linkage, brake lines, etc.

If you really want it to be taller, then get a 4 inch suspension lift. That will lift the whole truck 2 inches and it will be done the correct way.

What engine do you have? If its a stock 5.0 be prepared for a gutless wonder if you go any bigger than it is currently. I'd actually consider a gear change for the tires you have currently.

 

What's a 1.5/3"?

 

Some say this, some don't. Only issue I see is the frame hanging low and the hitch hanging low but most people won't notice that, and I don't know that I want to do a full suspension lift on a 2wd even though I want more lift.
