you will need alot more than that! Im talking dash spacer, radiator spacer's, firewall plate, bumper extentions, fuel extention, coil extention, clutch cable extention, blocks, bolts, washers, locknuts, bed spacer's. and that is the short list of parts that came with my kit. I say get a 3" myself. that is what I have on my rig and I have 31" tires on 15" rims. what do you think? its on the bottom of my post.

Personally, I'd go for the 2 inch. It causes less problems with stuff like brake lines, fuel lines, etc. The shifters are a little easier to deal with too.

If you get a kit it should come with most everything you need, bolts spacers, and so forth. Whichever one you go with, go slow and look for parts that are binding up. The fuel lines will get tight, but there is a hold down on the bottom of the cab you can take loose to get some slack. I didn't have much trouble with brake lines, but keep an eye on them.

The only thing the kit might not cover is the shifter boots. You may find you need to enlarge the holes and cover them with generic boots.

Yes you'll need longer bolts for up front, my BL didn't come with the right ones and i had to get some that were 9" long to work, and yess you'll be using all of the body pucks,. the directions that come with the kits are pretty accurate as far as how to put the thing together. If you need more help do a search for Body lifts, and find posts made by me, I pretty much wrote the walk through on the BL install.
