Im from bettendorf, iowa. Plan on lifting my 03. Having a little trouble finding out what springs i have on the front and what to replace them with. I want good lift without messing up the cv joints + boots. Looking at running 32' tires. Im replacing almost everything up front. Z71 springs in back.

You have PVC joints? Don't tell me you did this to your TB!?
All kidding aside, unless you're putting a grille guard, winch, or a steel bumper on the front, you probably won't require upgraded springs in the front.

Ok. Im thinking#85 springs with marks 2.5 kit + spacers. new 17" rims with 32" tires. Z71 springs in the back if i need a little more lift. Im adding the springs wile its apart mine are sagging. Replacing upper + lower balljoints, all the bushings. Sound like a good plan?
