do you have 2 or 4wd... that will really determine what you can put on your truck...

Have fun with the v6 lol, they suck for lifting too little power now if you had a v8 it would help. I put some bigger tires on my v6 and it's so slow... has trouble going much faster than 125kmh (it's hilly around here)

Yeah it is a 2WD. Varsis i live in the the rocky mountains. I do not plan on putting on big swampers or anything like that just a little bit bigger so i can more tractiong in the snow. what was really the problem not enough torque or just not happy with how fast it was.

Try Doetsch Tech - they have a 3/2 lift. It includes a-arms, front springs, shocks and rear add-a-leafs. I'm just supplying my own balljoints - cheaper to buy them at local parts store.

I also looked at Fabtech's lift - very similar, but costs quite a bit more. Plus DT will sell direct.

I'm also doing a 3" Performance Accessories body lift. I'm planning to install 32-33" tal tires...
