i wasnt planning on beefing up my axles or dual t cases but the hysteer comes in both kits im pretty sure and i have a ifs steering box already.
i would get raped if i had a shop do all this huh?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think what you're looking for is a "bro truck". Am I right? You know, the douchebags with the sleeve tats, dickies, and flat billed hats with GIANT "got sand" trucks?

Don't bother with the Marlin or All pro kit because both kits are made to perform and function off road. Since you're not looking for performance or function, I'd go with a cheaper kit and 3' of lift blocks. Seriously... If you want everything to function properly, you're looking at an easy 6k without labor.

Lift kit + misc parts = $2000
Gears + lockers + install = $1700 (give or take depending on lockers and install)
Tires + rims $2000

If you don't do it correctly, you WILL ruin your truck. Sure, you'll get a few high schoolers attention, but those of us that know these trucks will laugh at you. IMHO, leave your truck as it sits and focus on school.

honestly, who the hell do you think you are telling me what i should and shouldnt do to MY truck? all i asked is for a few of my minor questions to be answered. i know a fair share about product quality and functionality otherwise i would be ordering a 12'' softride spring kit off of ebay...
pull your head out of your ass and quit trying to enforce your own opinion

I don't really have much input as to what you should do with your truck to fit 39's but do what YOU want. I don't know how old you are but at 24 myself it was only a few short years ago that I had trucks I wanted to look bad ass and I made them look that way. I quickly realized as I got older and kept breaking things that it was impractical for me and I was much happier with practical mods and tire sizes. As long as its done correctly and safely do whatever you want.
