Haha. I'll send them right away. Can you point me to a very affordable lift kit. 2 inch is as high as I'll go. I'm ready to get this ball rolling. I just got a brand new paint job. The thing is looking amazing. I'm ready to have a tank. Thank you to everyone. Also body kit vs suspension pro and cons

Not sure where you got your information, especially when it pertains to a D1, but a lift is required for any tire size overt a 245 on a D1 or D2 if you plan on going off road or over speed bumps and dips when on the road.
Most D1's have dropped at least 1.5" in height since new and with the smaller wheels they have over a D2, lifts are a must for for fitment as well as ride.

This about what happens when a truck is lift axle relative to body. When a tire stuffs into the wheel wells generally it does not go straight up it goes up and curves into the wheel well (see my avatar for example of what I mean) because the axle is at an angle. You can easily fit a 35" tire into a d1 wheel well as long as you trim the outer fender. If you're just trying to fit a 32" you wont need extended bumps because the tires are no big enough to rub on the inner upper fender well. You will just need to trim the rear quarter panel because the wheel/tire also moves backwards in the rear or forwards in the front when stuffing..
Make sense?
Call Justin at Lucky 8 he will get you set up with what you need. I have had good experience with Terrafirma springs and shocks and have installed many of their kits. Quality stuff for a good price.
