Thanks, Jeff. Seems like 31x10.5 or 32x10.5 wouldn't be an issue. Unless a truck I buy has been recently gone through, the first things I do usually are springs, shocks, tires, swaybars (if absent), brakes. I've never lifted anything because the majority of offroad service here in PA is pretty mild stuff on state forest fire line roads (old logging skid roads) and a stock height 1/2 ton usually will do, but I could see the benefit to something 2.5" or less for a bit of additional clearance and suspension travel. Or a stock 3/4 ton.

Eric... I had originally thought of doing something similar to what you're doing with your C10 (really nice, btw) with Earl. He's lowered 2/2 and rides on rallyes with radials. Stock 3/4 ton springs in back with 2" blocks, 2" drop 1/2 ton springs in front. Bilstein shocks. Swaybars front and back. There was a plan once for an LS swap. Then kids came along. The missing 4th door that never bothered me became a hassle when trying to get toddlers into car seats!

Yeah... I think I'll go for it.
