    Im sure this has been asked millions on times, but I want some info catered to my truck specifically. I have a 2wd v6 xcab, tell me whats the best way I can lift it for 33s. Is this possible? Will this hinder the performance of my truck? Let me know what can be done?

    throw in an AAL or some blocks and get some front coil spacers, or do a body lift.

    you sure you cant fit 33s stock? i thought i saw a few guys with stock suspension and 33s on a 2wd.

    shouldnt hurt performance any as long as everything is installed correctly and the tires should be ok on your tranny. what size you have now?

    You can do lift spindles or lift coils (and or) coil spacers. Blocks or aal's out back. Check eBay for lift coils etc they usually have good prices. It will look really good with sone aggressive 33" MT's.

    yea, lift it up a few inches. it might sound funny but check amazon. I got my body lift for $172 shipped. throw some A/Ts or M/Ts on for sure man.

    ^^^ dont do that one youll run through ball joints like crazy.

    you have to answer a few questions first.

    -how long will you run this setup
    -how wide of a 33" tires
    -stock or aftermarket wheels?
