New to the forum....right now I have a 98 ext cab 2wd with a fabtech uca and lift coils and 2" blocks but was wondering if I could add 4" rc spindles or do I have to go back to stock....also considering adding 3/4 leaf springs and add the blocks if I go 7".... 4" spindle 3"coils.....any pics would help... I'm running 31x10.50x15 and don't want to go bigger... Live in the desert so a little dirt off-roading

Yes you can add a spindle lift.hiwever those tires are going to look very small with that much lift

If I take off the fabtech lift and go stock springs and control arms how would that look and do I kept the blocks in the back with the spindle lift or can I put 3/4 leaf springs in?

Ok so when I had mine still 2wd I had those exact options

The spindle lift in my opinion was a pain to install
If I recall correctly I needed to notch my lower control arm
I ha 32s with just the spindle lift and it looked good

With the spindle and springs I ran 33s and the rubbed
Had to cut the valance and even on a sharp turn it hit the back of the fender
The springs settle so whatever the listed lift was it didn't keep
Biggest pain in the ass was the ride
It rode like a damned tank
My SFA ridss better then those hard ass sprigs

But hey what can Ya do
Now 3/4 ton springs might be a good leveling idea for the rear I never did it
I'd block it tho so you maintain ride quality
Unless youd preffer to stiffen up the rear
