so from what i have read here, the todd mudd 3.5 by jba with ironman springs and shocks and a .5 clevis in the front is the way to go, with out forgetting the front and rear bumpstops.

so for wheels and tires im thinking the black rock 17x8 alloy wheel, with 265/70/17 bfg ta ko2

now tell me what you think of that.
please. [

Everything is good except just a warning about the size of the tires...it'll be a cramped fitment...not much flex without rubbing and cutting/pounding will be required. Also, your drivetrain will take a toll running tires that large without a regear job. I'd get a 265/70 16, or if still on 17s, 265/65 17.

Those are 32s. You're gonna want and need to regear to 4.10s or 4.56s depending on preferences, driving style and location. Also be prepared to cut and trim a lot with only the 3.25-3.5" of lift.

Next step depends on the specs of the rims. Depending on the back spacing they could give problems.

Remember with the ironman tommudd kit you'll need the biggest clevis lift to get 3.5" of lift. Ironman springs sit at about 2.25" of lift where the OME sits at 2.5". If you go with the OME version get the 3/8" clevis lift.

Who's todd mudd? :wink:
tires too big as has been mentioned
7 inch wheel would be better
of course depends on backspacing
rest has been said
