I wanna go a little bigger...

SO I just put a NCD leveling kit on my 06 Crew cab, looks great and im impressed with the outcome. But I already find myslef wanting to go a little larger.

I was thinking a 4" from PRG in some fashion. now sure of what my options would be here. I would like to be able to run 35's at least. I already got the 18x9 Rockstars at the house and im just waiting to buy the tires cause im not sure how big im going to go.

OOPS! guess I should put in here what im asking for...

So I was thinking of just going with the PRG 4" spindle's and a set of 4" Fabtech rear blocks. Is this all I will need or is a shock/coil-over change required?

"From my stand point I have never really understood why a person would take a 2WD truck and lift it 6,8 even 10 inches. When I see a lifted truck I think it is lifted for a reason. when I see a lifted 2WD truck I think someone is just to get some high school booty....."

Change your mind???

Get the CST 4" Spindles and either keep the leveling kit, or lose it if you don't want it lifted that high.

its not for the looks, its going to be serving a purpose and a 4" lift is in need now.

Im just not sure of which would be the best route to go and if I need new shocks/struts.

I would start with the CST 4" lift spindles, and with the leveling spacers you have now you will have around 6.5" lift. so then you can put blocks in the rears and longer shocks or the deaver mini pack. or you could just run the 4" spindle and remove the leveling spacer kit in front and small blocks in the rears. the really cool thing is you will always use the lift spindles and add upgrades later like coil over shocks etc...

Re: I wanna go a little bigger...

So I dont need longer shocks? But the deaver springs would be a good idea to install right?

or would it be better to just purchase that 2WD deluxe spindle lift package deal that comes with coilovers and all the goodies? I really think that kit is what is looking best for me. Im just curious if my leveling kit is going to be obsolete or does it still need to be used with the deluxe 2WD package? or am I reading this right and its saying the coilovers eliminate the need for my leveling kit?

Yes you will need longer shocks in the rear if you raise it over 1.5" over stock. The stockers are junk any way. And yes if you purchase the 2WD Deluxe Performance Spindle Lift kit you can post the leveling kit in the buy/sell section
