Bad asss. Thanks for the advise! Will 33" tires be to **** for the 6.5" lift ha? And I'm gonna buy some 2.5" spacers where should I get them from? I don't want some cheap junk ones thats scary.

33's wont look right. and when you say spacer are you refering to wheel spacers ? if so i dont recommend them at all.

pretty much what they said, don't spend the money on the lift and not get the right wheels/tires for it. NO WHEEL SPACERS! haha

if you want to run 33's it'll look better with a 4" lift.

Agreed. So 35" tires it is. Dang Well I like my Good year Dura tracs. Anyone know if their any good in that large of a size? This is going to be expensive... But i want to do it right. So, Cepek 6.5" Lift, Custom Driveshaft, 4.88 gears, tires, shocks, What else to go along with the lift to make the ride nice? Should I do the 5" block + the add-a-leaf? Whats the point in front dual shocks? Should I do a steering stabalizer?

there shouldnt be a reason you have trouble with those tires in larger sizing, but honestly im not familair with that tire at all, however when your looking at an a/t tire in larger sizing i wouldnt worry too much about isues, its the mud/aggresive tires that have balancing problems and death wobbles. dual shocks will ride nicer and perform better. its a nice upgrade, but not necessary + its an added cost. steering stabilizer- yes, makes a big difference. dont recommend the blocks and aal's + a 5" block is gunna create alot of axle wrap. if you can shell out some money i would opt for some new springs, which would also improve the ride.

blocks suck. I had mine in for two weeks until they were gone. I also run the dual shocks and a stabilizer. The dual shocks are nice to look at, the stock cepek shocks are not valved to run in a pair I don't think....in other words they are not the greattest. The stabilizer is nice to get rid of small bump steer issues.

Alright great. So the dual shocks that are an option with the Cepek Kit on this site. The Dual shocks from that arent the greatest? So I should go with another company? What shocks should I go with normally all around front and rear? I was thinking Bilstein 5100?
