whats the back spacing on your wheels you shouldnt need anymore lift, my 33s were swampers which are close to a true 33, if you measure your tire there more like 31 or 32 inches tall. never had a problem rubbing with my 4inch bracket lif and blocks in the rear.
try pounding down your pinch welds in the front to give yourself anothe half inch or so
people run 35s with no lift (with some minor tubbing)

i run coopers they are a true 33 also but the BS of the rims is a 3.75 they are 15x10 but im thinking about taking a cut off wheel to the bottom of the finder and then maybe the 2" BJ spacer just for a lil extra i dont think it will make it look bad and i was also looking into those longer skackels for the rear

3.4 update
starting to pull the 3.0
had to move out of the garage to pull it trucks a bit tall
motor out
(3.4)
bit of slug in the valve covers, brought them down to get steamed cleaned look brand new again
good amount of sludge on the head, anyone think its worth the time and money to get rebuilt or even popped off and cleaned?
and i may have broken that coolent tube in the back of the motor where its y's off into a smaller line. anyidea where i can find another one of these?
anyways im not expert by any means on motor and whats good and bad, but any input on what to do with the build up in the valves as pictured and amout of sludge on the heads would be apperciated.
