The sales over until the next one,...but I heard it's even cheaper for the upcoming boxing day SALE!...BUT!! all is not lost, this is what else I found:[all are on JC Whitney Truck.com] 1) Rough Country 5" lift kit w/shocks from JC Whitney Truck = $861.99 U.S. funds,....closest "low cost" deal I could find at this time. Then some more $$$ ones: 2) 3" full lift kit from "FABTECH" for $1,648.91 3)Rancho 3" lift kit for $612.95 4) Fabtech 3" lift kit for $597.95. ***Personally,..I'm going for the $861.99 Rough Country 5" lift kit + a 2" body lift along with my levelling kit...It'll be enough to clear my new 35" tires, and look good. I just got off line talking with a rep for buying this lift kit,..and YES!, it comes complete with new control arms ...the works!***

LOL after all the debating, sleepless nights and deep thoughts I changed my mind completly. I had a set of 285/70/17 BFG M/T KM2's that I bought but didn't use so I put them on the wifes hummer. They probably have 6K on them. Well she mainly grocer gets and I occasionally use for duck hunting but kind of a waste but I wasn't using them.

I am going to take them back from her and put them on my weld wheels I just bought. I am going to put on a leveling kit as well because I hate the rake.

I just hope my 17x10's aren't too wide. They shouldn't be as the tire is 11.4 inches wide.

I am just going to use the money I was gonna use on a lift on other things that this baby needs.

This modifying trucks is awsome..................and expensive and addicting.

Also going with the leveling kit because it will work with regular lift kits so if later I want to go bigger I can just add a 3" lift and fit the 35's

Excellent thinking,....always leave it open for upgrades at a later date.
