Well I have always had low vehicles from lowriders to dropped trucks but I decided ima change it up a bit and lift this one.

For now I want to level the front w/ 35s or lift the front w/ the 4.5" spindles I have read about then level the back to that...but my question is where can I find what I need? Do I need new shocks to?

Thanks in advance
Matt

We have a whole host of vendors on this site that can hook you up. You do not need new shocks to level. You can use height adjustable shocks or spacers to level if you are 4x4. If you are 2WD then spacers only. Post up some pics when you are done.

Depends on the amount of rake you have.
If you still want a good ride, stick with a 2" front spacer. Might not bring you to level, but i dont suggest anything over 2" on 2wds.

Spindles are the best choice overall. Gives you plenty of height and does not affect ride quality! Throw in a cheap rear spacer and you're lifted/level, with room to add on if you want to go bigger.

First, we need to determine the biggest tire you'll ever run and the most height you want to have. From there we can start out small and build up, so you wont have to go back and re-do things and waste money.

Ya it makes sense but I'm most likely just going to have 35s on it but around how much do the spindles run and do u have a link

I dont have a link since I went through Maxtrac, but they cost around $550 and a rear spacer cost anywhere from $50-100.

I got mine for $260 during a sale. Also a very good option for extra clearance, but that alone wont get you level

Now that 2" wont bring you level, but close. Maybe have .5" or 1" rake still depending on your current heights. You can check out performancelifts.com and then google/ebay Maxtrac stuff.

I will definitely do that. I also have a vararam intake if I do a body lift it won't seal on the hood anymore right
