3 +2 in lift w/ stock tires for a while????

Postby XKillerEliteX [OP] » Dec 21 2011, 6:51pm

I want to get a simple 3 in front suspension lift 2 in rear , so my question is will the whole 3 in lift w/ stock tires look funny for a while???? Be cause I probably can't afford to buy tires as of right now or should a do a 2.5 front 1.5 rear? If anyone has Pics could you post them ????? I got 17's w. 265 70 R17'S

that will probably look funny. if i were you i would just do the 3.5" in the front and leave the back stock. it might squat just a tad in the back but not enough to stand out. thats what im going to do with my truck. im actually ordering my kit today.

3.5" in the front will probably make it about 1.5" higher than the back i would either do a smaller lift in the front or add some to the back because 2" made my truck sit level

what about those of us that have a level truck but want to go 3" more?? every kit I see calls for keys in the front, but my truck is level and I want to raise it 3" all around... Not sure what to do. with 265's it wouldn't look bad as long as its a suspension lift. 4" would be too much I think.
