This 4" rough country spindle lift is the easiest. And doesn't change your suspension geometry. You'll be able to run 32/11.50r15's easy or some 33's with trimming.

thank you! everything is just nuts and bolts right? no welding or fabricating anything?

Correct and everyone that has done the spindle loves it. 4" and 33s cant go wrong looks great!

Not really a lift question, more a general suspension question, but what is this bushing called?

The earlier link doesn't work but looking at http://www.roughcountry.com:81/suspension-lift-kits/chevrolet-suspension-lift-kits.html

Do you mean just the spindles (in the middle), or the full kit on the right?

I have a 97 Gmc k1500 with a 6" Rancho lift on 35s my front shocks are gone and i cant seem to find the part number for the shocks. I would like to go with Rancho, or Skyjacker. But not sure what the numbers would be for any of them. The Rancho site only has numbers for up to a 4"

Any suggestions?

hello everyone, I have a 1996 chevy 2500 8600 edition, with one ton spring upgraded all the way around. (sits decent) my question is do you guys think I would be able to clear these with just crainking the T-bars up? 315-70-r17s on hummer rims. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/pts/4114359103.html

Get Bilstein 5100's. It's the best riding shock you can buy. But to answer your question a 4" lift shock will probably be ok with a 6" lift. I have 2" blocks in the rear with factory shocks and have no issues. Here's a link to the Bilsteins.

They will probably fit. Bfgs run a little small. They probably measure a true 33". With a little cranking and a little trimming you should be fine!

Whenever shock shopping I go on summit's site, I find their categorization very useful.
