There are a couple of kits that don't add that much lift . What size tires do you want to run ?
285/75/16 would like 35"s though

I loved how well the 43s worked but I didn't like the idea of having to run spacers to achieve the width I was used to with my old set of rims and tires , so I sold the 43s and Trail Ready beadlocks . I then decided I wanted to change it up a bit . I decided to get 44" Boggers and go back to 15s . I called 4WP and they told me they were back ordered till late November (this was in March) . I then called Interco and they told me they were holding off on making any big tires until they had enough orders for them and that it could possibly be up to a year . So I started looking around for used ones and kept finding nothing but 16.5s . Finally one night I see this kid selling some on CL for $1,500 with rims . We agree on $1,200 with no rims . I drive up almost 3 hours and spend $200 in fuel and food to pick them up in Santa Maria . I get there and it's a high school kid selling them and they all looked good . I brought them home :
Turns out I got burned . The tires were covered in armor and looked great with tons of tread , but they were dry rotted and had a bunch of cracks and sun damage that was not visible because of all the armor all . . . . Long story short , after contacting the kid and then speaking to his ignorant father and not getting anywhere , I got burned and lost out on $1,400 . I was so mad I decided to take a break for a while . So the truck sat like this for a couple months :

Then my Son Ricky swapped out my busted tail light lenses for new ones . He volunteered . Anyone who has ever met my Son knows , this kid's whole world revolves around off-road . He lives , eats and breathes it . He is the most hardcore young off-roader I have ever known .
