Default Update on the lift.

So my plans changed a bit. So I called top guns and got me a 3" lift. Nice ppl down there! I called them and they came down in price a bit. I only got 3" and with my 30" tires it wont look to bad. I plan on regearing next. I'm going to 4.56" and 33. I went with New coils and new leafs. I should get in by thursday. Hope to get some before and after picks. Now I need to find out how to get picks up on here. I can't wait. I also went to gas shocks. Costed me a pretty penny but as of right now I'm very happy. Thank you top guns!!! It was well worth the 15 min on the phone.

I have some off road coils if any one wants them?

use photobuckt, and post the IMG tag for pics

nice choice in lift, and now you just need to get the cab lights on it, i personally think the 30s will look a lil small, but im used to tractor trailer rigs, that have larger tires filling up the front and sometimes rear fenders

you might look at an adjustable trac bar
but pitman arm should be fine

Yep, an adjustable track bar will allow you to center the axle again (although it will not be too far off with only 3" of lift).

A drop pitman arm is not needed, but if you do get one you should also get a track bar lowering bracket so the drag link and track bar are still parallel. I wouldn't bother with either. An adjustable track bar... maybe.
