its all about your personal taste. i personally cant stand trucks with way to big of tire jammed in the fenderwell, rubbing or not. looks cheap to me, looks freakin awsome to others, to each their own. get your old measuring stick out and do a little figuring. where you want the top of your tires to ride and such, how tall, how wide, what kind of offset would look best, ect, ect before you go buy a lift kit and tires. and the bigger the tires the more you break stuff got the t-shirt!!!

I don't know about the 08 springs. I just put a 2.5" hell bent leveling kit in mine. I did the optional sway bar drop too. It went well. They make a nice product. finished well in durable powder coat. While there, the shocks where mostly shot, I replaced them with Bilstein 5100's. The truck rides like good - like stock. Handles better (probably the new shocks). You can measure you ride height and see what you want to go with. I did this, from the ground (while parked on a good flat surface, like a garage floor) to say the bottom of the fender. Mine was 37 1/2" at front, 41 1/4" in the rear, so I went with a 2.5 kit. Although not level now by measuring it, it looks it by eye. Looks 100% better, clears 35's too. It's not too bad of a job. I did not have or use a spring compressor. had to disconnect the trac bar on the passenger side mount and also both lower trailing arms at the axle side to get the clearance.
