In all seriousness, I've done my homework on the '97+ 2WD lift kts and
options.
Fabtech is the only one who carries a 3" suspension kit. I would highly
recommend their system with the Procomp ES9000 shocks. If you want more
height than that, add a 2" Body lift and you can stuff 32" tires with minor
trimming under the wheel wells. If you want to run 33" tires, you'l need
the 3" body lift as well. Gear wise, 4.10's are the way to go with this
setup. I've gone from 3.55, 3.90 and finally 4.10's to get decent all round
performance. I've heard nothing but good results with the PoweerTrax system
so that's my next mod sometime late in the summer.
