I have a 2002 4.7 2wd with a 3 inch RC suspension lift with 33's. 33's are decently new too so I won't be able to buy any 35's+ anytime soon.
I want to add more height because I like trucks that look like they're sitting on top of their tires if that makes sense, and 3 inches really isnt that high lol. What are some options for me?
I'm not very auto savy, but from reading some previous threads I've found Spindles (not even sure what those are) , coil spacers, add a leaf, Bilstein shocks set at max height, and a body lift. Anything I miss?
Been reading about 6 inch lifts with 33's and the outcome hasnt been in my favor...lol. One suggestion to make it look good was 6 inches, 33s, on 20" wheels but I dont have the money for that. Kinda on a tight budget too. Was looking at some Body lifts but Rough Country only had 3", and that may be to high for 33's and make it look funny. Any other sites that may have a smaller BL?
Looking to add maybe 1 in-2.5 inches (for a total of 4-5.5) .Suggestions guys?

And if anyone knows any pics of 3rd Gen 6 inches of lift with 33's feel free to post, and post your opinions/experiences, that may decide if I go with 6 inches or less.

Thanks!

You have the RC 3" also? Alright where are you getting your parts from? Only down side is I'm 18 and really don't know how to do all this stuff, and don't wanna take it to a shop again for 300+ bucks... :/ Trying to learn but forums and vids only teach so much haha

And correct me if I'm wrong bigboy, but aren't shackles for lowering?

And swamp life, got any idea what you're gonna list it for?

check airbagit.com or ebay. No, shackles you can use for lifting or lowering. If you get longer shackles you will end up lifting it. Real easy to do. Take the old spindles off and put the new ones on. Instructions should come with it.
