Need your opinion on lift...

I have been wanting to lift my truck (1999 2wd Runna) but at the same time need to keep the cost down (save money for college). I already have some 31x10.5 BFG A/T's, which I love, so I was thinking of getting the 1999 4wd springs with a 1 inch cornfed lift. Question being would this make the tires look to small or do you guys think it would look ok? I tried searching for some opinions and pics on this topic but came up empty.

Thanks,
Doug

you gonna wheel it? if not, go with a 1" body lift n call it a day. easy install, and easy to go back to stock. 31's wont look bad at all with it...it'll look proportional. plus..you wont get the crap ride that spacers offer on top of stock springs.

I think he meant this route to save you money. I just got my 2in RB BL for 149.00 plus shipping, its being fabbed right now, but anyway it'll give you the clearance you need and probably the look you want. the 99' 4x springs will probably give you around the same lift...not sure though cus' i've got a 97' and the question is if you're gonna wheel it or do for looks, for looks and ease go with the BL.
