Man, that looks really good. The Starter kit took you up what, 2 maybe 3 inches? If you don't mind saying, how much did you pay for the Starter kit?

It went up 3in in the front and about 1in in the back but I left one of metal plates out that goes on each side in the back (bottom of the box stupid me lol) so I think it would go up 1.5in
I think I paid 1320.00 plus tax Canadian from a dealer up here in Canada

Well, I guess riding a 250 sized dirt bike that some manufacture decided to shoe-horn in a two stroke 500 engine has you proportionly challenged
. I do think it is borderline with the lift/tire size equation. Any lower and a smaller tire would be needed. But I still stand by what I said earlier, it looks good.

I completely disagree about the tire size being too much. Our trucks look like they were ment to come with 315s at the very least 285s... I have 315s on stock suspension... not even a leveling kit... and it looks a 1000 times better then it did with 265s. What I don't like about this truck is the ***-dragger look... so get those pieces in there asap!
$1,320... is mighty expensive IMO for 3" though I paid half that for the same amount of lift, obviously different suspension parts but I dunno... what ever floats your boat I suppose.

megajoltman's tires won't rub anywhere with stock rims except for the control arms. 10" of spring travel travel fore and aft is the goal of Lorenz,Carli,Thuren and Kore. Emergency handling is preserved. Nice brushguard and winch setup by the way. Good alternative to the aftermarket bumpers.

No rubbing so far and yes I will be lifting the back more. I like a small level of rake with the back just a touch higher than the front.
I like the looks of it except for the rear but that can be fixed easily.
As too much $$ for 3in I bought it more for ride and 4x4ing function and the parts are top notch.
