i just purchased a 96 t100 x cab 4x4 5spd 245k
would like to fit 33's and i understand the offset with the stock wheels. right now its stock and am looking to lift 2"
as i understand this will allow 33's using the balljoint spacers? which ones to get?
and rear add a leaf? is this a good solid way to raise the truck? will i need anything else? any reccomendations?
i also will be replacing the upper and lower ball joints,idler arm "i seem to remember a better one of these" in my reading adventures..
any brand that you guys can reccomend for these parts would be nice.. i dont mind paying little more for quality/reinforced parts that will last...
also will be getting shocks and looking at the billsteins but with the 2" lift will they fit or do i need to get longer ones maybe old man emu"had em on my jeep and loved them.. my mechanic said try to find oil filled shocks...
your knowledge and ideas are greatly appreciated.
the short list now that i have rambled on here:

everything i will need to make 33" tires fit dont have to be wide. BJ SPACERS, ADDALEAVES, ETC

balljoints, idler arm brand recomendations.

shocks BILLSTEIN OR NO, longer maybe?

i go 4 wheeling about 5 times a year at the most and not hardcore...
