I've spent a few hours researching, but it seems like I keep coming up with more questions than answers. There's just too many package options to wrap my head around. I'm hoping that maybe you guys can help me shed some light on it all. The end goal is to fit 37's on my 2016 Platinum wheels with minimal fuss. I'd like to have a nicer ride than stock, but I don't know if I need all the added options I keep seeing on the sites. I'm not entering any beauty contests.
First, for the front, I'd like to see if I can afford to NOT use spacers and go with a full replacement coil/shock setup to accomplish the lift. 2.5" to 4" is the range I'm looking at. The problem here is when I see 4" lifts, they come with a lot more parts, which bumps the cost. Do I need to stick with 2.5" to keep the cost down?
For the rear, I don't mind blocks. I measured the stock blocks to be about 3.5" tall. My question here is if I go as high as a 4" lift in the front, will rear blocks not be enough for the back? And will I need to purchase new rear shocks to make up for any additional lift back there?
Do you have any recommendations for both ends of the truck? It looked like all the kits I saw either had spacers, had too many flashy options, or didn't have all the parts in one package that fit my needs.
