Default Questions!!!

So as y'all know i got a wrecked truck and i am changing everything over... So this truck has a 2.5 suspension lift(spacer add a leaf...) Then a 3in body lift. I have a 1500 and its a 2500 sport, if i just do the suspension part and not the body lift how much lift will i have? I know the v-10 springs add a little, plus a 2.5 spacer... I would gues 5.5inches right? If i added the body lift it would be 8.5inches?

A roll over will.

If I where you I would just do a bd swap as along as the frame checks out.

Id have to agree here, if your frame is fine, why not just swap your body pieces. Unless you like your interior more or something.

Somethings not right with the v10 then. It needs to be rebuild or have a serious tune up. With 35s and 4.10 gears it shouldnt be getting that low.
