your going to have to make it yourself. some skyjacker 7 inch V10 coils and they should give you around 9 inches. plus a spacer. your also doing to need long arms and get a re-indexing ring for the t case, plus longer shafts, also im assuming you want to run really big tires, your going to need to upgrade to a dana 60/70 front, rear and gears depending on what size tire.

Don't know about the suspension lift part (not into that), but I do agree with that ^^^^^^^^

Thanks Tani, that sounds like a lot of money would i have to but a complete v10 setup from skyjacker or just the coils? I really dont want to have to change axles i just want to run 38" tires. another ? for you would 5.13 gears be enough to turn the 38s or would i need to go bigger. Thank you

depends, what trans you have? i think 4.56 or 4.88 would be fine. the hole kit would be easier. also you have to remember though with those coils its going to be a stiff ride and its not going to be the greatest flexer

i thought the v10 rear leaves were thicker than the 1500 leaves. i really dont want to have to spend a whole lot of money trying to get everything to fit correctly i have very shallow pockets, im not worried about flexing i just want it for mud not rocks or anything also i have a 4 speed automatic transmission would those gears still be enough srry for all the ?'s

I don't think anyone makes a 5.13 gear for the Corporate 9.25. I could be wrong, but I think that 4.88's are the "biggest" you can get right now.

To turn 38's 4.88's would be best, and a 7" should clear them.
