Default Just got 3.5 inch spindles xlt 2003

I was wondering what other people with lifts recommended for tires and rims. Also what did you use to lift the rear? i was thinking 2 inch blocks in the back and cragar soft 8s with bfg all terrain 31s

the trucks far from being how i want it so dont bash it

If you are running stock wheels you will be fine. I ran 32s on my 2004 2wd with a 15x8 that had 3.25" back space that rubbed in the back when flexing, but that was it.
