LOL myke i was thinking about that the other day. It will deffenetly be easier to put a lift on my truck, with a locker in the rear. Instead of buying a 4x4 atleast for awhile. Would be a little easier out hunting. And you remember what happened with me trying to pull dads truck up in flag. LOL :banghead:

Daystar makes 1", 1.5", 2.5" coil spacers for the 2wd 2500/3500's. 2.5" would make a nice size front lift, def would need new shocks though.

some bilstien 5100 or ES9000 or whatever.. any shock a little longer then stock would be good.. 2.5" isnt that much

2.5" spacer and 3" body lift will give you about 6". Otherwise, combining a 1500 kit with some custom springs might work. I would have to take a look to see if the 2500 knucks are the same as the 1500 knuckles.

You can do that as well, I can give you alot of input on if you want to do a custom setup. If the knuckles are the same, you could start out with a CST 4" lift spindle, that would get you up in the air quick, then add a spacer and you would get 6" in a hurry.

Yeah that sounds like a better way to go, im not much of a body lift guy. But then again i may just lower the back of the truck so its level.
