Basically I need some help with lifting the truck. Unfortunately being a LEO isn’t the most paying job so it has to be cost effective. My goal is to run 35’s with no prob. And would prob do the body mount chop to be able to clear it. Suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated. I uploaded my truck as a got it this Monday (if I uploaded it right lol)
    Thanks

    Bilstein 5100 or Eibach lift from Toytec would be your cheapest I would recommend. stay away from spacers. thank you for your service sir.

    @BlueBottle my rear leaf springs are looking really flat. Unfortunately the truck has some miles on it. Would you say to replace the leaf packs prior to adding the lift kit? Seems like most lift kits use the lifting blocks.

    The 5100’s can be used on the front only and gain enough height for 35’s. Unless you want to keep a rake, this will be the cheapest and most cost effective way to gain the lift you need. CMC and some trimming will almost certainly be necessary.

    these trucks leafs flatten pretty quick even when new. if you haul a lot of stuff, best to get some hd leave springs. just check with toytec, they usually give forum members a forum discount.
