I did go with the 33x12.50r15 bf goodrich A/T's with the raised white letters. And after looking at your truck and Redfish's, I think I will definitely be ordering skyjacker 2.5. I am still debating if I will do rear springs or just do the blocks. You guys seem happy with the rear blocks??.
I had a very specific reason for staying with the blocks. The SoftRide springs would have made my truck ride better but I would have lost some carrying capacity.

It was not about the money, although the rear springs are a lot more expensive than blocks.

I use my truck as a truck from time to time. Yes, it is mostly a play toy but one of the things I love about it is that it can carry a lot of weight without doing a "Carolina Squat". Keeping the stiff factory springs lets me keep one of my favorite things about these trucks.

Thanks for the reply and all the good information (i like details). I think I'll order the kit with rear blocks. A person could always change springs later.

Looks like skyjacker "requires" the drop pitman arm, but I have never used one on a square with less than 4". Are yall running factory pitman arm?
