    get your heads out the gutter :jester:

    Truck has leveling kit on front and thats all the lift it has. The 35's are barely scrubin the inner fender and fender trim due to the offset. I want to lift the whole truck maybe 1-2 inches but dont want to keep putting stress on the front by stackin spacers on the strut. The back is a breeze just add a block.

    Would i be better off to toss the leveling kit and by a 4" lift or is there a safe way to add more to it now w/o makin it drive like a basket ball.

    My buddy said he seen the local offroad shop take the strut out and cut the metal part under the coil and slide a bigger pipe over it (sleeve it) and leave a gap of the desired lift and weld it all up. I just dont know if I like that idea. If thats all it will take I can do it in no time but just lookin for the best way to do it.

    6" that truck would look sick with a lift, or a BL either way it would look good
