i am going to try to borrow some pieces from a ram, and fab most of it my self, drop brackets, ect. i am sure there is going to be quite a few other things that will need to be changed that you normally wouldnt mess with in a lift but they will be upgraded bigger and better, just have to see what fits....

Wow I was talking about it at work, and found out there is a guy about 10 miles up the road that makes the lifts for toyotas, and nissans. He has all the equipment, and does it from plans that get sent to him.

I am meeting with him this weekend, to see if he would be interested in desisgning, and selling a 6/4 lift for our trucks. I think that a 6/4 would be about perfect, take the raked look off of it, and raise it just right.

6/4 would be sweeeeet. Its seems like its gonna be a hell of a process to get one to work well on our trucks, but like i've said before if someone figures this thing out I would like one too... I've talked to some local shops and none have them have wanted the project
