afternoon guys,

i am looking at buying either a new crew or slightly used 2011 crew
and will be putting alift on it shortly there after.
with your guys experience what is the best lift out there?

and, which is the better shock bilstein5100's or nighthawk black ops

most of my driving will be split between highway and offroad( back country, lease/logging roads, mud/snow)

thanks

 

I just put in a bds 6'' long arm on my 2011 with 35s ,life time warrenty on all the parts.Rides nice ,running fox shocks.On my 06 i'm running a 4'' rancho ,with rancho 9000 shocks it is good lift too.

 

hey carli lift kits are one of the best too,they cost twice as much as a bds but they are nice, just about went with one myself ,but bds and 35s are the same price as a 6'' carli

 

thanks for the input guys

what's the major difference in going with long arms vs. short arms
ride? handling?

 

you get a smoother ride with the long arm,and the drive shafts ain't at a higher angle.check the bds site.

 

Carli are supposed to be one of the best. Not cheap. Take a look at their website. Jumping trucks right out of the box. Putting a Carli long arm 6" on my dually here in May. Use it for the same as you, highway to oil patch.

 

thanks guys,
checked out the bds website and googled it, makes sense
about the long arm vs short arm
the carli lifts look very nice lots $$ though

shlen - making your tractors look sexy since 1962;lol
where were those helpers when i was growing up on the farm;lol

 

I went with 35s on my truck,it wil fit were the spare tire is,a 37 won't,did;nt want the 37 in the back of the box.
