Im torn between 1.5 inch lift or a 2 inch lift. I run 32s, but might as well say 33s. Right now at stock height, with the 32s they look stuffed. I want to lift it, but need pics of different lifts people have.

I dont want something too much, and I dont want to get a 1.5" and want more. But maybe it will be more than I need, and like it.

Please list your REAR lift height and POST the pics.

thanks guys, Im thinking 1.5" is too small too now. Splatmaster527 Im really digging that look, and I have the same size tires you are running, and I would like to have more wheel-well room like you have. To balance that big of a tire.

Podwarrior63086 You are right, the 2" does looks small on your truck. It actually is what is telling me go with the 3"

Podwarrior63086 what size are your tires

I got 2" spacers with z71 springs and the rear fenders are a little bit taller then the front by .5". I would recommend 2" for the rear on stock springs or 1.5" on z71 springs. That way you have a level f/r ride.

Most spacers being used are 1.5" to 2" to match the front fender heights. I would suggest to measure your fenders to the ground now and see how much you need to be level. I got about 2.5" out of the front and only needed 1.5" for the rear but got 2" instead for extra height during towing. I don't know why podwarriors truck is so low in the back unless he's using the rough country 3/4" spacers.

one thing to keep in mind tho when raising the rear.....

As you lift the rear higher the rear end will move to the drivers side.
Mine was rubbing on the passenger side shackle pretty good and I had to buy the panhard bar piece from a suspension lift and relocate it to put a 3" spacer in there. My truck has 35x12.50 factory wheel offset for reference.

Mine still sits low in the rear, but that has more to do with the subs, box, and batteries back there. It sat nice when it was out.
I am going to buy some taller springs and try to raise it back up.
