2\" lift the best way?

I want to do a 2" lift for my 90 K5 32" tire. I plan to go to 33 or 35 the next time around but I don't want to be too top heavy. what's a good innexpensive way to get 2" out of her? Thanks for the help!!!

Re: 2

Go with a 2.5 lift and then in time it will equal out to be a 2 inch. due to the weight of the truck. I have a 2.5 with front shackels from ORD. Right now I am running 31s but in time will shoot for 35s...

have fun

Just use add-a-leafs.

You know you'll want a 4" later.

I did add a leafs first till I decided to go up to 4". I would do the add a leaf for a 2 inch because 84chevy is right you will want to go bigger later. BTW 4" lift is too top heavy, but dont go any bigger than 4".

My 4" isn't top heavy in my opinion...my truck handles great. I still have my swaybar though.

4"is too top heavy!?!?! I am at 9 now and am gonna go a few more in time. Its not a Porsche. Dont drive it like one and you'll be fine. My last rig had a total of 17" of lift. (14" suspension and 3"body) Drove it every day, 70 miles a day.

Actually you may be talking too high for rock crawling, if thats the case then yeah maybe.
