Decreasing you turning radius would be a good thing. The spindles for 16" wheels are the only ones that increase your turning radius. Unless you have a regular cab you're going to want a notch ASAP. If you have 20x9's and 275/45's you're probably going to rub front and rear with a 3/5.

Dude here's what you need to do run some control arms and a 6" flip kit with c-notch.

I ran 2" control arms with 4" hotchkis leafs for a little while and it rode great. I really liked it alot.

Now I'll be running a 4/7 in about a week. For now I'm running a 2/7 and the back rides just as good, if not better than stock.

The flipkit/cnotch costed me a total of $85. I bought the flipkit/cnotch on ebay almost brand new for $60, and I spend $25 on a grinder and cutoff wheel from harbor freight.

i meant to say increase turning radius as in a wider turning circle

i do have a reg. cab

i measured it and my rear for sure wont rub and my front is on the verge of it with stock spring rates and i think with the stiffer spring rates, that ill be alright. if not i can just take out the front inner fenders as a last resort till i get new wheels/tires

a 4/6 or more isnt practical of feasible where i live, rough roads, etc.

i think the extra inch of clearance/height will be just enough to live with, this is my daily driver

cant disagree with ya, Im always scraping on stuff like speedbumps etc. but i think i have a 5/6 because i still have the v6 front coils.

BTW you might want to consider some air shocks for the back, that should keep you from bottoming out in the rear, they can be found at Orilleys.
I know several people that run them.
