Suspension Lifts
I have used just about every manufacturer on the market at one time or another.
My '03 has all Donahoe stuff (8") with Fox Reservoirs. I pretty much try to convince everyone I am doing a truck for to use Donahoe parts, whether it is a leaf spring or coil spring truck. I really have had good luck with both Fox and Bilstein 7100's. I don't think you can get away with running a factory 18" wheel, unless you found some really narrow tire, which may not even be available. These wheels have a lot of backspacing for a factory wheel.

The poll has the info you're looking for and the post #17 and 49 have pics of the different lifts and wheel / tire combos. 17 is 99-04 trucks, 49 is 05+ trucks.
