Damn, You are indeed correct sir. (must need to go back to my remedial reading classes. )

Stainless steel lines, and even the right length, for a reasonable price. Awesome. You will like what they do for pedal feel too.

I put the exact same lift on my truck about a year ago and it worked out good but the 4 inc blocks were not enough for the back. Over the years of hauling the leafs had settled a bit and when it was all said and done the truck was about an inch or so out of level, and just didnt look right.

I added a 2 inch add a leaf ontop of the blocks to make it all better.


For drive shafts i have thhe 4 inch blocks and the 2 inch add a leaf without issues. If you havent yet when u get done with the lift id do some trans work(flush filter and all) Then maybe a shift kit and TC to keep up with bigger tires, it will save u in the long run(trust me i replaced my trans 2 weeks after spending 2000 on lift and tires, it was one speny month

95BIGRED also has a gear upgrade, to go along with those size tire's. So add around $2500 to your budget. 3:55's ain't gonna cut it.
