Just my opinion but you will not want more than 1" body lift w/ your spacer lift on stock sized tires...

It will look funny.

Check out the profile link below and see my first few posts for a few more pictures of 2inch BL. If I have more I will post them for ya. I also have pictures of my OME / BL lift with stock tires on that thread... I didn't think it looked too bad... the Limited fender flares stuck out a bit with my stock wheels though.

Good luck.

The spacer lift was only to lift the rear. I didnt go 2 inches all around.
arent you runnin stock tires with a ~2 inch lift.
i was kind of leaning towards the 1.5 in lift
It's either get the lift and loose the guard or forget the lift and keep the guard

or get the lift, ditch the guard, get the pp spoiler
ah so many choices

I think ebeln has 265/75/16s, which should be comparable to the 32" tires you have. My 265/75/16s were almsot 32" exactly when new, and I run a 3" suspension lift all around. IMO opinion, I would just go with a spacer lift on your front suspension. If you do a .75" Daystar they just sit above the strut tower. There is no need to take the whole coil out. It is fairly easy to do, and there might even be larger spacers out there, you could use 2 of Bamachem's 1/2". With the body lift you would probably lose the brush guard, which kinda sucks. Just a thought, my buddy Robby was able to keep his WAAG with a 2" body lift, he just re drilled the holes lower on the bracket, but he has a 98 Taco, on mine it looks like I could keep my WAAG too with a 1" BL. Just some fod for though. 2" should look just about right, if those are 17x8s, all the better. I think mine looked a lot better when I changed to 16x8 rims.

I thought you were going w/ a combo lift of suspension and body lift. If not, then disregard my comment. I do have 32s w/ about 2 1/2" of lift but will probably throw on some 285 AT's when the 32's wear out. It will take awhile for this to happen as two of my tires are pretty new and at least 60% on the other two.

Id rather buy and drive a ˟˟˟˟˟˟˟ 82 Tercel on skateboard wheels than drive around my truck with it costing $65 to fill up my f$5'n tank.

Wow dude, I like your truck a lot, but am feeling you on the gas prices. Before I had mine lifted I urked on here for a while, and I remember looking at your truck, same color, same rims. 31" tire might look wierd with 4.5" of lift, I'd probaby take out the body lift and sell it to me. just a though.
