[jhulett18]

A 4" lift will clear those 32s.. You shouldn't have to trim any with that. Rough Country has the best prices on the 4" lift and if you are looking for a shop to install it, I recommend RIDES of Conover.

And here is a link I seen today for the wheel spacers you are looking for, they're used but for a great price..

I second the 4" lift but, you may still have to trim just a little. I ran 4.5" lift with 33x10.5R15 mud terrains on 15x8 rims with (IIRC) 4.0" bs and they would hit even on the street. After I trimmed the front and rear wheelwells just a little bit and extended the bumpstops, they fit great!!!

If it's a mallcrawler and won't see any offroading, screw the 4" lift and throw a 2-2.25" budget boost on and call it a day. It'll EASILY clear 32's once you adjust the steering stops at that height, and you don't have to worry about driveline angles or crappy short control arm angles making it ride like a tank.

2"bb for street driving and 32's. There's no reason to invest in springs/arms/disconnects/trackbars/etc for a mallcrawler.

2.25 and lightly trim the front bumper

so yall really think a 2-2.25 will really fit gah that would be AWESOME cause i dont wanna spend 400-600 bucks on a lift especially if im not gonna go wheeling

Seems to me that it's gonna be difficult to fit 32's with just a budget boost without some pretty aggressive trimming. With my 4.5" lift (granted it was short arm) (Rubicon Express) we still had to hammer the pinch weld, relocate the evap canister, trim the front and rear bumpers, and extend the bumpstops to fit 33x10.50 BFG mud terrains on 15x8, 4"bs rims. (or maybe 4.5"bs, it's been several years) I think we also had to adjust the steering stops, if my memory is correct.
