Default lifting the front

i am going up in tire size and i was wondering is there any way i can lift the front without spending big bucks on a suspension kit.it seems like i could just get longer springs or taller spacers,just wanting to know from somebody that has done it before.

Hell bent steel makes a leveling spacer for not a whole lot.

295/70/17's are 33.5 inches tall and you could go to a 35 inch tall tire with just the addition of a leveling kit up front.

Either a set of of leveling blocks or a set of SkyJacker D25 coils and you will get the needed height for the 35 inch tire.

I got a set of 2" leveling pucks off ebay for $65.00 and I'm currently running a 315/75/R16 tire.

A leveling kit in the front is what ya need, If you plan on lifting it any further get a kit, but whatever you do don't put blocks in the back!
