There is a TON to read on here that will give you a lot of good information.
Actually, one should be cautious of what is read on here- a lot of misinformation. Finding out what folks regret doing and what they should have done, is much mo' beneficial-maybe.

Here are a few shots with the 3" BDS and the 33" Duratracs on stock wheels. My poor wheels are taking a beating off road but it gives her some character

Thanks for all the help. Just ordered the 2" BDS with fox 2.0 shocks. Mickey Thompson classic II with 33x12.5 discoveries.

I didn't know BDS made a 2" lift. That looks sweet!

Yeah they have a spacer and a suspension. I chose the second thinking it would be better and upgraded to fox 2.0 shocks.

Mine is sitting a little high for 33's but it should settle down a little over time and still leave room for 35's

I just didn't wanna go to a 35 that's the reason I only went 2". Otherwise I would have went taller myself.
