What would you do?

Alright I posted this in my build but doubt anyone is looking in there to be able.to give me advice.

I am in the process of building a 609 to link under my rig in the next year or so probably next tax return to complete the rear at the same time. Anyways my rear s been making some funny sounds so I crawled under it and sure enough one shocks broke the other is about done, so since I can never seem to leave anything alone I'm looking at doing a 1-1.5" lift.
Don't want to go much bigger since it just purchased new 265/75 tires and think they would look a little dorky with anything bigger. I was thinking ordering up some 99 springs and ome shocks. Is there a better idea? Also have a 1.5"bl waiting from 4crawler I might be throwing on sooner then later.

What kind of tires did you get? I think it depends on the style and also the backspacing of the wheel they're on. I have 265/75's on a 3" lift and I don't think they look small at all. Unless I'm sitting next to someone with 285's...

Another thing is the cost difference between a relatively cheap 1-1.5" lift to a 2.5-3" lift. When I will just be cutting it all out and have a pile of parts I'd get maybe half of what I purchased them for.

I agree. 265s can look great with even a 3" lift. Doing 99s with a BL would look great and give you the amount of lift you're looking for. I think you should just go with that, or leave out the 99 talls completely and just go for the BL.

I think those are plenty aggressive looking enough to not look small. Especially if you widen the stance. But that's just my opinion.
