Some of y'all may know that a while back I was torn between lifting and lowering my truck, and since then I've decided on lifting it because I can get more use out of it on the property, work related stuff, emergency weather and things like that. My original plan and my current plan is to basically just level the front with MaxTrac 2†lift coils, Rancho shocks for the front that are designed for 2†of lift, stock rear leaf shackles and Rancho RS9000 shocks with the adjustability feature to help with ride quality and not sacrifice towing ability (may also get an add a leaf, they're cheap and useful), rebuilding the front suspension (I actually can't find a complete kit thats not from some off brand company so suggestions are welcome there as well), simple off-road front and rear bumpers, simple cheap winch, an 8.8 with 4:10s and a LS and disc brakes, with 31†tires. Im torn between that and getting the MaxTrac 4/3 kit and still doing pretty much all of the above stuff, with 33s. The main thing that keeps me from doing that is the extra expense to regear the rear axle to 4:56 gears and the extra tire expenses because 33's are a bit more expensive than 31's. I won't be doing any off-roading, just a daily driver that is capable of handling just about anything I can throw at it. Any help or suggestion is appreciated, thanks.
