Lift Package

Hey there, I am peicing together a lift for my truck. I wanting to be able to fit 37x12.5x16.5 Super Swamper SSRs. So far I have gathered a nice lift together, here it goes

Skyjacker D45 Coils
DTprofab Trackbar 3-6" lift with DTprofab Track Bar Drop Bracket
Dick Cepek Extreme Long Arm Kit (Control Arms Only)
Skyjacker Extreme Drop Pitman Arm
New Leaf Pack for Rear
Bilstein 5150 Series Shocks

Anyways, my question is how does this lift sound to all you guys? I dont know all that much about lifts but from info gathered on this site and others I am come up with this setup.

Also I was wondering which 5150 Series shock to get, I will probably need the heavier 255/70 Valving, but I was wondering how much travel I need, and how long of a shock for this much lift I need for the front and rear, as far as col. length, and full extended. Thanks.

I was going to get the Kore System but It is a little bit out of my budget for now.

-Jared

PS. Will the 5150 series work with a coilover since the resovoir is part of the shock and not remote.

Sounds like a pretty nice lift uve put together . I had almost those exact components and was going to put them on my 2000 before I sold it. You should even be able to run 38's if you wanted.

You def. saved yourself a good bit of money by piecing the lift together instead of going w/ a full system

good luck and post some pics when you get it all done

Nope, you'll need a 2" coil spacer in addition to the 4.5" spring. I had 5.5" springs, 2" spacers and still rubbed just a little with 38's. Now I have 37's and they fit perfect.

whoops, confused the D45's w/the 7" diesel coils.

the 2" spacer is one choice or maybe trying to return/sell the D45's and get the diesel coils. They pop up on ebay from time to time
