F>R with spacers
ive done a little searching and cant come up with anything. i have a F>R swap on it now and like it, but wondering if i would like another inch or two. anybody have any pics of it??? maybe with 31s or 33s? what else did you do? TCase Drop? shocks? for right now im thinking F>R 2 in spacers, bar pin eliminators and a tcase drop, shocks will have to wait a little bit and deal with a rough ride for a month or two. but wondering on looks. anybody have anything?

My first thing would be more research. A Front to Rear is about a 3.5 in lift. 2" Spacer's will put you at 5.5, so look for people with a 5 to 6 in lift and see what their rigs look like. Research in the build section, it will give you a good idea as to what yours will look like.
Shocks, t case drop, track bar drop, longer brake lines, new bushings, after market control arms, etc.... These are the things that will need attention as you raise you rig. The higher you go the greater the need to fix the drive angles and your steering angles. I would suggest, a little more research and then save some dollars so you can make most of your corrections while your rig is on stands for the spacer install.

Even the slightest bit of searching would've answered your questions, but I'll bite.
This is a F>R w/ 2" BB and 35's...
31's would bring on the fail train!

/\ thats crazy, cause i have a f>r swap with 3.5 springs now and 33s rub pretty bad, i would only expect 35s to rub pretty bad with the spacers lol.
thanks for the pics
but its fine i hate the search on this ****. im just trying to get ideas if its a route i wanna take or not, i know all the stuff that has to go into it, just wondering if its worth it or not.

Trackbars F&R, full set of CA's, Bilsteins, and Chevy brakelines.
Now it's getting torn down again to come back alive with a 5.9, a true 3 link front, 4 link rear, HP44, and 9".

you had to do upper control arms to? i already have ext lowers front and rear, but stock shocks .. . . ... well see how things go if i even do it might just throw the springs on and 31s and wait to get the 7in seems like its a little more bs then i really wanna deal with just for an extra 2 inches.
