Id definetly be intrested in the 3/1 kit. i was planning on doing the leveling kit and a one inch block anyways so this would pretty much be perfect for me, it would probaly be real close to leveling the truck perfectly. And if you wanted to keep a little rake to the truck just put two inch blocks in the back.

if we did make a diff drop. it would end up costing more than 100, but would still be a budget kit by all means, and made of good quality, with a lifetime warranty, like all of our products, so ill put down one vote for a 3/1 kit
I haven't decided yet if I want to lift mine or go a different direction with it (previously lift wasn't in consideration as I'm not a fan of body lifts). Personally I like the idea of 5/3 or 3/3 but still compatible with a TM type spacer so people get a good amount of lift. Of course 3/1 could be very attractive as I imagine the cost would be lower than with a 5/3 solution. The most important issues for me personally would be quality (which a lifetime warranty is very reassuring in that department) and that it wouldn't cause cv bind.

As rotormunky mentioned also a front 3" could be a nice solution as well, if you were able to make the kit modular you could possibly sell different "levels" of it at different price points with no extra cost to you guys? (not sure entirely how that stuff works but for example: 3" front, or 3" front + 3" rear for more $$? I'm just throwing ideas out here ) I apologize if I came across somewhat harsh earlier, I'd definitely like to see you guys succeed here

Out of curiosity how do the current kits for the IFS chevy's work?

Any thoughts on the TRX4 Daks that sit a little higher already but still have the droopy nose?

i just got done talking to the r and d dept. they said there main concern is the kit may require upeer control arms, it will most likely be offered in a front kit, and a complete system, including rear lift and shocks, as for our ifs chevy lift, take a look at thishttp://www.roughcountry.com/chevy_4wd_88-98_2-3.html that will give you an idea, it lifts it with rekeyed bars, we are looking into different methods because obviously our trucks do not have a torsion bar setup, anyways i really appriciate eveeryones responses, lets keep em coming, and you for your input altair, you seem pretty good at this, you are being very helpful in adressing concerns for the group.!!!

I'm in! I say level it so the entry height is no longer a major problem. Will this work with the TRX-4? The TRX-4 05~07 factory build is a 1" lift over non TRX-4s. The 08s say all models are at the same height. I like the look and without a doubt the 4X4 Daks sit stupid low for anything other the occasional snow storm or very light off road use as in isn’t stock form. I say a chassis lift of three inches will be an easy sell for the entire Gen III line.
