Probably going to be more of a mall crawler(No offense). A 2" or 3" body lift would do just fine. Save money, and still allow the wheels to stick out.

You can get a set of Cragar Soft 8s for around $400. Sell those oversized things, and recoup all that money.

Do you know with a 2” or 3” body lift do you have to extend and of the front parts I’ve read different thing some say you have to extend pitman arms steering linkage and stuff and others say no that just going that small that stock will work

Just shift linkage if I remember correctly, all the stuff you just mentioned is attached to the frame(doesn't move with the body).

Don’t you think there’s too much tire on the rims. I think we need it lower profile and maybe 4” spacers

Lol, that's why I mentioned the whole squat thing.

Lift would look bad with those wheels(ugly as hell in my opinion) and tires.

But to each his own.

No sidewall with a lift is cool nowadays.

Those tires are not going to last long that why I was asking cause it will get bigger tires but going to have to be lifted some so it don’t rub on the front

Nothing I am saying is ment as an insult.

My opinion only.

With that size wheel, what a 22 or 24", even a 40" tire has very little sidewall.

I will insult you if you stretch a mud tire on those wheels. Lol


At the end of the day- My opinion
Your Truck.
