Alright that makes sense, would it be 2inches for an aal?

Around there yea. If you want to make sure you're higher in the front, do shackles or a 2" block

Yeah dude anything will help at this point. Should give me some solid specs. Much appreciated!

I made a mistake it's a 2001 single cab not 1999

Alright, let me know if these links work, just had to go dig through my old posts, I hope the pics are still working.

Here is my 04 2wd xlt with 3" spindle and 1.5" AAL in back:



Here it is with a shackle added to the back:

Thanks a bunch dude!

Bought my spindles today! Ordering the rims Thursday and now comes down to the tires, I'm not sure if I should run 31x10.50 or 32x11.50 the guy told me from the picture that he ran dueler 32x11.50 all terrains on it and personally I like the look a lot but will 15x8 rims work for that tire size any help or suggestions are really appreciated I will start posting pics up soon

Depends on your gearing for the tire size as well. But you can run either on 15x8's

How do I find that out, the gearing size?

----------

Gearing sorry not gearing size

----------

How do you find the gearing out? I've never done this before so this is all new to me, I appreciate the help

Look at your door tag


Then reference this..

Thank you so much!

No problem!

Okay it's 86, so it's an open 7.5 3.73 ratio. So what does this mean exactly? I know I have a lot of questions so I apologize in advance

It's cool I'll answer this then I'm off to bed
Open means its not limited slip(LS)...one wheel spins, it'll just keep spinning
7.5 is the size, smaller axle
3.73 is the gear ratio. You will probably need to regear for larger tires(like 32 or 33" tires)
If your 4x4, regear front and rear axle
