finally gonna lift my truck

[johnnyjb]

I'm looking at a few options here.
Ether 3.5 inch fabtech with 33s
Or 2.5 inch level with 33s
Or 6.5 inch fab tech with 35s

Would I have to regear with the 33s
Would 2.5inches make my front.end higher than the rear ?

No gear change needed for those ..

I run a 5.5" lift with 35's stock gears .. never a issue.

i pieced together my own lift with using rough county suspension parts and skyjackers shocks its a 4inch

Just another alternative if know the parts u need for it u can always do it that way, i was able to use the parts i needed

The OP must have a 2wd...the only 4x4 lifts are 3 and 5.5 from Fabtech. Fabtech lists a 3, 3.5 and 6.5 inch 2wd lifts, not a 2.5

Ramhunter runs a 5 speed in a rcsb which is the lightest body. Going with larger tires with an AT will effect performance because it takes more torque to turn a heavier tire. 33's will have the least loss. BTW whichever lift you choose read the footnotes regarding wheel/tire selection carefully.

Fabtech includes spacer blocks for the rear springs. I am not a fan of blocks at all and would recommend a a BDS 3 inch add a leaf, which should bring your stance back on the 3 and 3.5 lifts.

It's not recommended but you could run a 3 inch lift and a body lift. That would give 6 inches for small 35's and a more factory like ride. Small 35 would be like a 315/75 not 35x12.5.
