Was thinking about the future...
So planning on getting the spindle lift installed and everything in Jan. or Feb. But ran into a problem during my thinking process. I am hoping to go with 32s...but I think I may need to get some trimming done. So, after I get my spindles on, I can not put m stock wheels back on...how should I go about getting my truck to the tire place? Just have them wrap my new wheels first take them to my truck and then drive it back and have them check everything? Or am I just thinking too much and there is a simpler solution that I am just not seeing...

um what brand spindles are you using? only the fabtech ones that dont alow stock wheels go with a procomp or the one's they sell on ebay doetch[sp?] those can run stock wheels. also you will have NO problem running 32x11.5. just look at glowins truck.
you have your info wrong sorry. 2WD XLT's are not as tall as 4x4 xlt's or edge models nor do they have torsion bar suspension. 2wd XLT's run coil springs and are a good 2" or more lower then a 4x4 torsion bar XLT or 2wd or 4x4 edge model.
