Got a couple of questions about lift size and ride associated with it.

Currently I am deciding between an Icon 4.5" stage 1 or 2 suspension lift, and the Kore Recon full suspension leveling kit (2.5-3").

Does anyone that uses their truck to tow and drive on a lot of back country/ dirt farm roads have any experience with these kits and what kind of ride I can expect compared to stock?

I know the difference btw the kits is 2.5", but its hard to picture that size difference, so if anyone has any pictures of their trucks with these size lifts, Lets see them!

Any recomendations on other lifts to look at other than the fabtech, sky jacker and other generic brand lower quality lifts?

The max size tire that will go on my truck is a 35", and another thing that worries me is the drop in fuel economy. In my 98, I really didn't see that much of a difference, but does anyone with a 6.7 have any numbers they may be able to chime in with?

I'd go with an engineered Carli or Thuren system.

These companies offer proven systems with great customer support.

Thuren bought a 2010 specifically for research purposes in order to get it right.

Here is what I did and I tow a lot in the winter.

I thought 4.5 would be to much with the 35"s I wanted to run.

Very nice, I saw that shortly after I posted this thread. What kind of fuel economy drop (if any) did you notice after putting on the bigger tires?

redlineguy

Don't know lifted it with I think 27 miles on it LOL. I would guess it would drop 1 or 2.

Well after tons of calls and searching, I have raised my standards. I'm either going to go with the Kore Chase 2.5 or the Carli 2.0. Now to figure this part out...

Carli offers excellent aftersale support. Do a search of Kore's.

Don offers a 2.0 Fox setup. His website just doesn't show it. Waldo the Webmaster needs to update his site.

Go with the Carli system. Sage has more time spent in shock valving than Kore has into the whole product line. I don't think Kore has changed much in their product line in close to 3 years.

last email I got from thuren, the fox remote res were $1150.00

Danderson

Yeah,that's correct. He supplies minipaks,endlinks,front coils,adjustable trackbar,steerng stab. and limit straps. If you upgrade to the Kings,his towers go with the price on the website.

I just ordered the Carli starter kit and adjustable track bar for my truck.
