Nice Im just trying to decide on the lift I wan to do.

Im thinking I may just do the tortion bar crank, and maybe a small block in the back.

I want to run a 15 x 8 or 10 .... or a 16 x 8 .. I want the wheels to fit flush to the fender.

Im not too sure what the backspacing I will need.

hah

So I have been reading like mad, just have a few questions if anyone can help that would be great.

Im going to run a 285 75 16 tire on a 16 x 8 wheel.

As far as the lift goes, I will just be doing the prekey or cranked tortion bars on the front.

Now on the rear, I would like to lift it slightly.. Are the stock blocks a 1.5" ?

If I ditched the 1.5" block and put the 3" block would it have a decent stance or would it be 80s drag race truck?

Would a 2" block be a better choice? I have read not too stack blocks, I find it funny because the dealership here has a 2011 with blocks stacked.

would it be okay to run a 2" block stacked ontop of the 1.5" or just get a 3" block and run it by itself

Red dragons. I think it's a skate board thing. There is more meaning to it though.

Arron, truck is looking good. Glad to see you took my advice on lifting it.

Installed some new rancho 5000 rs5347 front shocks, they are for 1-2" of lift. they really improved the ride quality. Happy with the upgrade, made a huge difference!
