Here's My dilema. I have a 2012 reg cab metallic grey. Look at pics if you dont know the truck.
I dont know what lift to put on the truck because Im not sure what will look good. Just bilstiens/ level-body/4in/6in+body... I want 35 inch trail graps i know that much. So I'm thinking mils set to max, 1 in rear spacer, and a 3in body.

Anyone with pics of reg cab jacked up?

See, I don't want to spend 2500 on wheels/tires then a year later decide to go bigger. Want to get it right first time

first you gotta figure out what size tires you want to run, then from there you can piece your lift

35's just require a leveling kit

A truck I see on the way into town is single cab and lifted. It looks like he has a 6" - 7" lift. I keep wanting to stop by and ask him about it but think he may find that odd, lol. It looks badass. The tires are at least 35".

Depends on how well you can finance IMO. If you can swing it go for one of the big lift kits, then BL it you want a little extra. I'm on a budget so I'm going the Bilstein 5100's with a 1" spacer, then 3" BL with 35" wheels.

since money is an issue and the tallest tire you plan on is 35's, buy bilsteins first, then get wheels and tires, then the body lift

You can go to the link below and click on "New Thread" to great your own build thread. I'm sure people would love to know more about you truck, it's pretty shark. Like wheels, tires, lift and anything else you've done along the way.
