suspension lifts

Well as yal know I had ordered a 6 in. fabtech susp. lift so I can run 37s. Well the shop is having trouble getting it all in for some reason. So im back to which kit should I get instead. I know a lot of guys run superlift. The shop says they can still get me a bds. But the parts are gray and i was wanting them all black. What should I get? Im tired of looking at my whls/tires just sitting in the garage.

You can fit 37s with a 3-4" lift no problem, depending on your wheel specs...

I went with a superlift, and its been ok, but if I could do it all over again I would have had Don Thuren build a kit for me to get the ride I want.(And im now replacing parts to get)

Im gonna need a 6 in. My wheels are 22x10 mazzi hulks and my tires are 37x13.50x22s. So a 3-4 in. lift probably wont work.

Nope. You'll need 6" and some trimming to fit them especially since they have 4.5" backspacing. It will look great though!

10" wide wheels with 4.5 BS is a pretty ruff combo for these trucks. If you haven't already bought them you might want to rethink that...especially if the truck will be off roaded at all.

It is probable that you will need more than a 6" lift to properly clear all that.

Rock Krawler also has a 5.5" longarm kit. Topgun has it for pretty decent price.

Obviously the economy 6" lift is the tuff country, but with 4.5" BS I don't think it'll work out.

I got a 8" Rock Krawler kit for around $3300 and I love it. Its extremely strong too. New coil over's etc. I have 38's x 15.5 kumho's. Very awsome and well priced kit.

Me too. Supposedly they also have the softest 6" springs you can get unless you have custom coils/shocks made.

Those are both 6" kits...are you planning on the 6" lift and keeping the 2" leveling kit in place? That is not my favorite route to see, but I think you will need it to clear those wheels/tires combo.

Kaltag...is that your truck in your avatar? I would love to see some full size pictures!
