EndIsNear I agree that most trucks are lifted for looks, But most lifted trucks are still able to hold a purpose, other than driving around the mall regardless if it is 2wd or 4wd if its has 38 or bigger tires. Whats the point?

Very few of these trucks with 38+ tires have running gear under them to handle any stress of offroading. Or a driver that knows what there doing. I have seen too many in canals, jumping cars, rolled over and they seem to be a hazard to even other people driving trucks.

If you own a truck do what you want to do with it, just respect what a truck is and should be.

I'm done if a mod feels I have wronged you can delete and I will understand and sorry to the OP I would like to see pics of your lift when your done.

 

thats y im sticken with 4 inches on 33`s....this thread has been very informative.....thanx guys

 

i think that will look great man cant wait to see it

 

Thats what I'm going for as well. I fit 33's with 1.5" lift, but it should look awesome with 4"

 

Hey E.I.N I called airbagit.com (aim industries) and spoke with on of there techs and I asked about the control arm and how they look so flimsy in the pic . And he said the pic on the web page is not the actual arm that i would be ordering . So fyi...... Im still considering them, but the site you sent me duetsch(?) i called them and asked if i could rearrange the kit to add springs instead of spacers and she told me that someone would call me back and here it is 24 hours past and no call. But the still have good prices.

 

Well thats cool. I've never delt with Doetsch Tech, so I have no idea how good they are lol, I just saw their prices and equipment were decent. If you decide to go with AirBagIt, I'd like to see some pictures of the arm before you install if you could. If they look strong enough, then maybe I'll consider them too. But if they look anywhere near what they did in the pictures, I wouldn't take my chances. FYI, you can get add-a-leafs off of SummitRacing.com for $40, that gives about 2" of lift. They're from ProComp. I installed them on mine.

 

by add a leaf would that not make my suspension stiffer ?

 

Yes, but not bad at all. I enjoy mine because it helps keep the truck from squatting too much if im hauling something heavy, pulling a trailer, etc. I plan on keeping the add a leaf and adding blocks when I get the lift. Gives me just a small boost of carrying weight.

Oh, I just realized what you meant by seeing if they'll add springs instead of spacers. I was talking about the rear.

 

i might just bite your ryhme(copy ur idea)...i will definetly help pulling a trailer.nice idea.

 

I have another question....thought about a new thread but, i felt like the question still faslls under this subject and you guyz r familiar with what im trying to get done.

how high can i lift my 2wd front end and keep the stock upper control arm. ok ....if thats not clear , when do i need to upgrade my upper control arm to a lifted upper control arm,when lifting my truck???
