lifting a 2WD is so much cheaper and they look the same except for under neath of course...


Quick question...did you have a leveling kit on it prior to the 6" lift?

Hanson,
Yeah......i didn't realize it till i got home. The front shocks are still stock. Thought is was kinda weird!!!! Pro Comp is closed till monday. Gonna call em and find out if the kit came with all 4 shock!!!!

Hawkdriver,
According to the website, its 347 per tire for BFG AT's. Tire Rack has the same tire for 293 per tire. Americas Tires offers a replacement warranty plus lifetime balance and rotation. So i'm not to sure what i will do. Gotta see if they will match Tire Racks price!!!!

Seanutz,
Yes, i did have the 2" leveling kit on.

Well, i would prefer to stay with the BFG's or Nittos'. I've used BFG for the last 5 years, and they hold up well. Even wear. I have25000 miles on em now.....and i think i got at least another 10000 more!!!! Keep in mind this truck is also my daily commuter

Mine is a DC as well ive got about 17500 miles on mine and they are holding up rather nicely...aside from a few burnouts i did when i first got them there is realitivly little wear on them at all...but stick with what you know and like best.

Got new shoes today Got Kumah Road Ventures. I guess there a another Nitto gone off-road 325/65/18. They still look freakin dinky!!!! I'll post some pics tomorrow.

On a side note, they didn't remove the 2" leveling spacers!!!! Pro Comp has 2 ways to do the front. 1 way is with an all new coil over system, which i guess i didn't get!!! The one i have is basically just an extention!!! I'll post some pics of those tomorrow as well. I thought the thing looked a little higher in the front..lololol

Well id think they opted to save you some money buy just using existing parts that work well instead of incruing you an additional $500 or so in giving you a completely new front suspension...not sure which you like better if you have the money to drop but id look at it as a favor...
