How are you going to have "giant tires" with a two inch BL? The purpose of a body lift it to make room for bigger tires. And spending the 1800-2000 dollars on a 5 inch suspension lift that really does no more for you off road than allow room for larger tires and increase your ground clearance a few inches is very unpractical in my opinion. No offense to anyone who has a suspension lift. But i would take that money and sas. I have a 2inch bl and a slight torsion twist with shackles in the rear with 31's for now. Perfect lift for a DD on a budget.

i cranked my passenger side all the way in and left the driver side where it was... she still doesnt sit level and i have no idea why i think i might have worn out springs up front any ideas? and today someone told me if i flip my leafs springs itll add a few inches any thoughts on that?

I wouldn't flip the leaf spring. Try an add a leaf to level it out if its the rear. Find a level spot and take some frame measurements to see where you stand with the height. Also check your torsion mount bushings. I replaced mine after 217xxx miles and they were horrible. Put the new moog ones in took about an hour and the truck handles better and actually sits more level.
