2wd with 3inch spindle lift

bob1527 · October 3, 2005

ive been meaning to put a picture of this up for a while now, i finally got one. too bad my friends crapbox is in the picture haha.

its got rough country 3" spindles and 2" blocks. you can see in the picture that the front wheels stick out a little more now (im not too happy about that, but its not the end of the world). the install took a long time about 4 hours on each side, i broke it up over night. i also did the upper bjs while i had it apart.

i like it a lot, it looks more truck-like 3 inches higher.

no im not gonna stick z71 stickers on it. ill try to get more pics up, but the rest is pretty standard and i dont want to bore you

btw, those are 265/70/16s on there. but according to rough country i will be able to fit 285s, so thats what the next set of tires will be.

last night i decided that i like the rear jacked up higher than the front (im old school), so i install 4 inch blocks.

i know its nothing special, im just trying to show ppl who are thinking about doing a 3 inch spindle lift what it looks like

You'll probably have to do some trimming to clear the 285s. They rubbed on mine. (I had a 2002 C-1500 with the fabtech 3" spindles, and I ran spring packs from a 2002 3500) I ended up running a 255/85R16 instead. The 285s were terrible in the rain as the truck was so light.
