Re: -----Please advice-----
Azzamy, normally the lift kit is installed so you can fir bigger and wider tires. What is the use of fixing a lift with the stock tires?
The spacers are required when you put wider tires, so you actually need to fix a spacer to push the inner side of the tire out of the body to avoid rubbing and also to keep the same balance of the car by pushing the tires out .. if the car is lifted, you need to widen the base by installing the spacers to avoid rolling over.
So if you will keep the stock tires, then save your money and keep the stock suspension.
And I always say, the mistake always start with a lift kit ... And the list will not end

Re: -----Please advice-----
when you lift your truck, you will mess with its gravity center
which will increase the risk of rolling over, to over right that you need to wider your wheel base
whether or by different type of rims
i do recommend the after market rims which have a good backspacing,
the down side of wheel spacers is the possibility of twisting your axles
Note: NOT necessary to go for wider rims to provide good backspacing, wider rims (10") requires bigger tires
which will kill your power, you can go for wider rims and bigger tyres if you are planning for regearing

yup! lift kit with stock width makes your vehicle tippy... not good in off camber situations. Wheel spacer or aftermarket wheels which stick out more than stock highly recommended!!!azzamy wrote:Thanks iguana .

Correct ?
On the other hand ... a lift kit is not necessarily only for bigger tires!
It is for better suspension travel and clearances ... helps a lot with cresting

It will look ugly... Tall with skinny wheels that looks like a hole in the body
You know well that your car can do everything without mods.. & you said it to me many times & you handle your car very well already, so I feel that this is more of a "personalization" thing, rather than offroading

Hence, if you are lifting, get a better looking tires that will fill the gaps, & give you "the look"..
Also, only larger tires will add clearance under the axles..
You have pentastar, I'm not sure of your axle ratios, but I believe regearing won't be needed if you go larger on tires.. Although extra torque is always welcome
You see, it is a rabbit hole, lift, tires, rims, spacers.. & the snowball will keep on rolling & getting bigger, just ask ZAK
