ive just got the factory style fenders but feel like no lift with 285's looks a biyt funny and a 2 inch doesnt seem like enough, i know i could go 2.5 but price jumps way up and at that price i could do the 3 inch lol.
People often think that extra 1/2" of lift is fairly inexpensive, but that ain't the case. Some points to consider:
With the 2.5", you can buy something like the TeraFlex or Rock Krawler kits and not have to worry about adjustable control arms (for setting caster) and adjustable trackbars (for centering axle). A lot of folks on the forum buy the 2.5" kits for just that reason, and then drive it for awhile to see how it handles. If it needs some fine tuning, they might buy a pair of lower ca's to fix their caster...a fairly small expense. Total cost (w/out the ca's): +/– $700.
For a 3" lift, you're automatically getting into the realm of more $$. Mine came with both front and rear adj ca's and tb's. I also had to buy a new driveshaft (which can happen for a # of different reasons...in your case a 3" lift is gonna create too much of an angle for your ds to last very long). Total cost: $2,000.
Something to think about.
