If you change the rear to 6 lug youll lose the dual wheels in the back,I would change the front to 6 leave the back alone and run a stock wheel and hubcap in the front to hide the 6 lug,Or talk to http://www.deaverspring.com/ see how much a custom set of lift springs will run you for the front.

Ok don't know much about the 2wd stuff so please corect me if I am wrong! It seams to me that the 00-10 spindles have the same ball joint mounting as all 2wd gm with the addition of a unit bearing? If so can't he install these and a 8 lug unit bearing and be wear he wants to be or am I missing somthing?

Just google rockymountainsusp.com you will probably have to call them to see if the kit would bolt up to your arms. Looks like you would have to upgrade brake calipers and by unit bearings but you can get up to a 6 inch lift kit would be sweet if it would work!

so i have been looking at a mess of stuff and considering all my options

1 98-99 lift spindles 4 inch lift spindles stock ride height (wish i could find one that wasn't stock ride height)
a: with bigger coil springs and a adjustable upper control arm
b: air bags....? and adjustable upper control arm

2: unit bearing spindles still looking for the right one


then if that still not enough then 4 inch body lift

if anyone one else has any in-put i would love to hear it
