sweeet!!!!

cant wait to see pics. do you already have the tires?? should clear 35"s

Yeah i've already got the tires, they are 31.5's. They aren't gonna be huge, but i don't want huge tires anyway. Bogs the truck down too much IMO. They are the smallest E rating tire you can put on a 18x10. My C2500 had bigger coil springs, but those were a pain.

These are the tires.

Just imagine a crew cab.

the lift spindle is only gonna end up adding a 2-3" lift... because it takes 1.5-2" just to level it.

This is one guy on here that has the same set up i'll be running.

You have any more pics of your truck, like not on 35's like 33's or anything? No body lift or anything?

Ok so what is the best way too level a C2500? I've been looking since I got my truck.

So there are a few ways...

A.) Coil Spacer (I don't like because they are a pain to install and i have heard can pop out, not sure how)

B.) The way i did my C2500 is i took C3500 coils which are a tad bit taller and installed them, but you have to grind them down to make them fit. But it doesn't bring it all the way up to level.

C.) If you can find a set of Fabtech lift spindles (They are discontinued) it will lift the front 4.5". Then you add a 2" rear block and it's level. Probably the easiest way to go because you don't have to mess with the coils or ride of the suspension.

I don't mean to be rude or anything in any way but what are the advantages to lifting a 2wd truck? Just for looks or functionality?

My truck is 4wd but I offroad it a lot and honestly only ever use 4wd to cross rivers and deep mud holes and 4lo to climb steep hills if I cant do it in 2wd. Lifting a 2wd would make it way more capable of road. Put a locker in the rear and you should be good for most trails. You can get way more ground clearance in the front with a 2wd and they weigh less.
