Default 3inch sus lift with spacers added?

Anyone have any input to this? I have a 3 inch lift and am thinking about taking it up an additional 2 inches. I was thinking about just using spacers because its a little easier on my wallet.

Also, I know I will need to extend my break lines... what else? If anyone has any pics of 5 total inches of lift that be great! I currently am running 33inch tires... think that will look weird?


Thanks

With 33's, 3" is more than enough lift. Actually it's plenty to run 35"s. Honestly 5" of lift is completely unnecessary and would make your 33's look like rollerskates.

It would be a whole lot of lift for only 33's.

I have a 3" Black Diamond lift that I've added 1.75" spacers to to make room for my 37's and it is fine.

I agree with those above, I am running a 3 inch BDS lift with 1/2 inch teraflex spacers. I was running 33 duras / 305 to be exact. I have since stepped up to 315 duras, WOW !!!!! What a difference. It didn't look bad with the 305's but your considering an additional 1.5 inches of lift, will be much happier with 35's, and as also stated, 5 inches of lift for 35's is not needed.

Cheers
