Thanks everyone and I saw that lift kit list and how you can put 32s with some trimming but now my next question is how to trim behind the rear passenger door seeing how there is only like an inch of the body there. I'm new to this whole car hobby thing so I don't know what you would call that piece of the body haha

the keys arent needed, stock will do the same. They threw bait and hooked you. Put on the 2 inch shackles crank the tbars 1.5 and call it a day. Send the shackles back and buy ball loints

the best way to get bigger tires is to do a body lift. the body is the problem for fitting tires. How do i know this? this is my second truck, 6years of owning them

Ive been wanting to install the PA body lift but scared the body bolts are gonna be a pain to get out. I already have the RC lift and it looks that 31s will barely fit yet alone 32s? I havent tried 31s yet so I may be wrong.
