First off I have a 98 2500 12 valve. I hope to one day upgrade the trans but a suspension is what I need now. I don't want to go broke, but I don't want to just replace the same stock components when I could upgrade for more durability. I also plan to turn it up to the high 400's hp and around 750 torque. These will come with time but the suspension is where I stand now. Please let me know about the different options that you know of and how much the mods will cost. KORE and Trex suspension are the same thing I understand but any other options are also welcome. Any and everything for an upgrade including shocks, shock mounts, and tierods. Please also include any upgrades that you would recommend and why. The key to me is "Bang for your Buck," and durability of the engineering. Thanks again to all of those who replay and help me with this decision.

 

What do you want from the suspension? That will help the guys that know suspensions point you in the right direction.

 

Is the truck 2WD or 4WD? Do you want to lift it, lower it, or keep stock heigth?
What do you want to use the truck for?

Guys, thanks for the quick responces. I enjoy this website for this very reason. I would like to keep the truck at ruffly the same height or slightly higher. I'd like for the center of gravity to stay as close to where it is but a small two inch lift would be acceptable. My truck is a four wheel drive 98 12 valve with 145,000 miles on it. I'd like for the suspension to be able to handle offroad as well as on the highway. I'd like for the truck to be able to pull a gooseneck trailer with a Landcruiser then be able to go offroad and keep up with the full size trucks and blazers. Thanks again for all of the help ya'll have given for my suspension choice.

The beauty of this set up is that you can start with the Starter System and upgrade as your needs change and funds allow.

Guaranteed it will out-perform anything similar and the engineering behind it is solid.

Having ridden or driven trucks with KORE, Lorenz and Carli systems, I think Carli has the best performing system and the most bang for your buck.

 

How about a keldermann air ride suspension. You can go from stock/lowered to big lift at the push of a button.
Very cool setup but pricey.
