Default Lift question
Hey guys i just got 31" tires on my 2003 2wd single cab and i feel that it looks a bit squished in so i was thinking about getting a lift but i have never done anything like that, i just wanted to know what's the best way to go with this im looking for a 2.5-3 inch lift i was thinking about spindles or coil spacers up front and getting leaf springs off an explorer in the back. Anyways im just looking for opinions and pics would be nice too. Thanks. Oh btw i dont have torsion bars or any of that

You can get spindles from ebay and AAL for a few bucks more. Suspension lift looks better to. Not being biased I have a body lift.
