i hate to see another good truck go this route but to each his own. if you want that much lift man up and front the cash to do it right. i have no problem criticizing your build if it looks unsafe! you need to think about dropping all the spring mounts, coil mounts and TTB crossmember as well as the rear mounts they need to be dropped several inches. then go out and buy the lift of your choice... prolly 6" skyjacker
if you do not know how to weld proficiently (not on your neighbors buzzbox you have tinkered with a couple years back) do NOT continue. stick with a 6" lift and do some fender trimming if necessary!
i wouldnt be worried about breaking anything as you blatantly stated you will not be taking this offroad (why its in the offroad section or why you even want to spend the money, i dunno.. again to each his own!)

ok well i found what tire size im hopefully going to run... I have a guy wanting to sell me some 39.5 thornburgs for around 350. one is brand new and the others have about 80% plus tread still on them. now that the tire size is taken care of, how much lift will i need to clear these tires?

I want bigger tires, which is why I'm looking for a D60, but until then I'll get some Alloy USA shafts and CTMs.
