I have a 2000 2500 non HD and would like to add a 1.5-2 inch body lift. Im just looking to easily clear 33's, nothing too crazy. Anyone recommend a kit?

my 99 z71 has stock suspension and 33"s without any rubbing. well i should say 32.5" its a 285/75/16 tire. but i bet i could fit a true 33" tire without rubbing. but to play it safe the most you will need is a leveling kit at the most. new torsion keys will give you the extra lift needed. to me body lifts look like crap. new torsion keys will be the easiest way to lift IMHO. heres a link to some leveling kits.http://roughcountry.com/chevy_4wd_99...eling_kit.html
i would go for the full leveling kit for $190

I like body lifts personally. I have one (though I did do it after the suspension).
Problem with a leveling kit...is 6 days later you'll wish you went larger. A 3" body lift is a nice difference, and when you get bored, you can throw on the 6" suspension.
If you only want 33's, I'd turn the stock torsion keys the 1/2 turn you'll need to clear, trim a 1/4" off the lower valance and call it a day.
blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
Would ther kit you posted work on my 2500 non hd truck?Originally Posted by lechez71
you dont need a lift to clear those tires, just adjust the stock torsion bars. thats what i did and didnt trim anything. no rubbing under any circumstances. 99 2500 non hd

I have my stock bars turned up nearly all the way and the 265's im currently running still rub when the wheels are fully turned.
Then you have the wrong offset wheels.

+1, get some different wheels with stock offset instead of a body lift for sure...

They are factory wheels.
