Thanks bro, I went with 33" Mickey Thompson ATZ's. plenty of meat to give it a little more aggressive look but they won't wear out after a year. That's about as big as I would go without needing to change gears.

promillo
so you wouldn't recommend it?
I would recommend the 2'' coil spacers they settle in after 50 miles or so

Id get a aal instead it'll give about a 2" lift and if you haul anything it'll help a little with that it says for a 4x4 but I don't see why it wouldn't fit a 2wd

What size back blocks

2" for just a lift spindle alone. 4" for lift spindle and 2" coil spacers. Add 1.5" rear shackle if it still sags a little
