buddy is confused about his 94 pickup

He wants to run 33s and move up to 35s. He is thinking he wants a 2 inch body lift. What lift should he use for the suspension? Is there some sort of spacer for the front, and then just blocks up back? Or shoul dhe just buy a 3inch lift?

More info, what kind of truck? What kind of wheeling is he going to be doing? Why runn 33s now and then move up to 35s later, why not just do the 35s?

he could get away with probably a 3 in body lift, and the 1.5" ball joint spacers for the front and some longer shackels (sp) in the rear.

A lot depends on the width of the tires and the back spacing of the wheels. I had rubbing issues with 33x12.50s with a 4 inch suspension lift, it wasn't until I added a one inch BL that I stopped the rubbing. I don't know my back spacing off hand but my tires stick out about 3 inches more than stock. Here's a pic before the BL: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...87536486nrNPYb

Here's the situation that used to just about rip my fender flares off: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...82564705rEOQhF
