i have a 97 2wd and i really want to run 32's. i have 2in coil spacers and going to install add-a-leafs to pick the rear up level with the front(the spacers were more the 2in). i want to install a 3in PA body lift, but i have heard some bad feed back about them. the bad stuff i have heard has been on 4wd with steering and shifters. is the 2wd exempt of the major problems. my truck is an auto so i dont have any shifters. what about steering and the steel break lines; those are my biggest worries. any help would be great.

I've had mine on now for a couple of weeks and I love it. I haven't had any problems with the floor shifter. The brake lines are long enough and don't need any modifications and as long as you get the steering extension on good and tight, you can't tell a difference. Mine drives and handles just like it did stock.

I'll second what 97_blk_dak said. I have seen no problems yet and I've had it on for about two months now. Nothing that I can tell has changed from stock in terms of handling, etc..

ive had mine on for 2 weeks and the only 'problem' on mine, is where the 3'' blocks touch the bed, when i run over something, it kind of rubs a little bit but if you put white lithium grease on it often, it will go away. other than that, theres no difference in the ride or anything else.
