There is a guy on craigslist around here that sells stackable steel bj spacers that says you get 3'' of lift, but I don't think they are 3'' tall, I am guessing that is what he is seeing.

You guys seem to be forgetting about the bracket lift! Dont get me wrong I have a 2" body lift and it is fine but if I could have only the bracket lift and no body lift I would take it. I dont use my truck like you guys do so I just want it to be big and to throw some mud when it rains. And my 35x15.50 tsl/sx's do that just fine for me. So ask yourself what am I going to do with my truck then go from there, you dont need to go sas you can get in plenty of trouble with the IFS trust me. I even have the SDORI Ball Joint spacers on too and it all works great together, but remember I dont use my truck like you guys do. Good luck and keep posting on here!!

Well plans have changed yet again! Ao my tax return wasnt as much as I thought....so since my yota is my DD I cant have it sit around while I SAS it. So im going to go with the Rough Country 4-5" Suspension lift and still run the 35's I got. Can I run 35's with 4" no problem? I was able to clear 33's stock...so I think ill be fine.

save yourself some money and get 1.5in bjspacers, a 2in AAL or shackle or block out back, and a 2in BL and run 35s alllll day. aaahhhh crap i forgot, if you get a bodylift, youll die and your taxes will go up and your babies will be born naked. but seriously, those bodylift block are EXTREMELY flammable and combustable and EXPLODE!! jk

Yeah im skippin the body lift. I still wanna SAS it but cant afford it and my rig is a DD so. I was thinkin the 4-5" RC Lift with 35's and the Elocker I just picked up would work just fine.
