do you want the factory air or no? if not then you have more choices. a lot more! 4 inch, 6 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch. there threads on here and people with those lifts. but with factory air idk what your options are. i think procomp 6" makes one for it, but im not 100% sure.

Well, if I do keep the factory air ride, who makes the lift? I am also thinking of doing the body lift also. But would like to raise my truck with a suspension lift

greg, if i were you i would convert to coils. there is a thread on here on how to do it. i dont think it is very expensive either.
i have an 01 E.B. with the A4WD and I am running a 4" rancho suspension lift with 35" tires.

Well I am gonna convert it to all coils down the road, but for now, I want to do 33" tires on it, and bring it up some. So basically all I can do as of now since it has the air ride on it, is do the body lift correct?

8???? no way I'm averaging 11.7 to 12.3 depending on the driving lately a little lower since a lot of slow driving through the corn fields to get to my tree stands but usually float right around 12mpg... was in the high 10s before the edge programmer

i have no idea why its that bad. i know i should change the plugs out cuz they are due but im terrified! hahah. maybe if i change the plugs, cops, fuel filter, maybe that will help with the mileage.

with the 3 inch body lift will I be able to run 33's and also will 33 x 10.5's fit on my factory rims?

that should fit fine. and its going to be a tight squeeze for those rims but if you can find a tire shop that will do it then do it. what rims do you have? i think some of the stock rims are .5 inches different width. i know there are some people on here that have big wide tires on stock rims. so idk why it wouldnt fit.

i imagine you should be fine. i will have to double check when i get out of work but im pretty sure my tires are 325/65/18 (roughly 35x12.5) mounted on an 18x9 rim. i will confirm after work.
