hey guys I wanna piece a lift together for my 97 2500 ext lb 4x4.I was thinking dick cepeck long arms and a skyjacker set of 7 inch springs.On the rear a set of atlas springs.Any better options?I want to clear 37-38 inch tires and will use a body lift if necessary.it will be mainly for looks and minor trail use.Will I have to mess with drive shafts or gears ,I really dont want to but will do the gears if I have to.What leaf spring height should be in the rear ,or can I use a shackle kit and add a leafs or blocks?What about dropping the case?Is this a big deal.The truck must remain reliable.What other components do I have to buy in regards to steering and shocks,brakelines etc?Where can the parts be purchased?Part numbers on the lift components?I'm having trouble finding the long arms.I use the truck alot on the highway and thus will use a tire that is mainly for longevity and all season use.Any opinions,they have to wear good.Thanks guys :confused:
