If you go much bigger than what you have now, you are really going to start having geometrical issues with your truck and it's going to cost a buttload of money to get it correct - axle upgrades, brake upgrades, new driveshafts, etc, etc. Have you thought of installing front and rear selectable lockers? I have seen Jeeps with 33" tires and lockers get out of situations the big boys get stuck in.
If you want to go bigger another thing you can do, which is very easy on these trucks, is to trim the fenders and install Bushwacker fender flares. You can stuff 35's and still keep your cg much lower than a 9" lift would provide.

well one what u just posted above makes u sound even more like an a hole and the one who is retarded but and I quote from you "You don't understand it either. You just wanna look cool.Have fun with your Mall Crawler! Watch out for the big scary curbs. LOL"

geez that kinda sounds like bein a dick to me as well as it did to diehard and a few others i'm sure.
and if u read closely you would have seen that I do agree with you that what he's doin is excessive but you didn't have to go insult him and say all he's goin to do is make it a mall crawler. You could have explained the way I did that going smaller will probably be less work and work better anyway. but instead you go "STFU retard go suck one and jump off a cliff" way to sound like a jackass man. At least I don't got to go freak out and talk trash on people

o and i like how you edited ur post to something a little more G rated after i posted

So you guys think that 37s or so would be better for what I would be doing?? Would they fit with only the 6" fabtech?!?!

look at www.wholesalesuspension.comre: whiplashsuspension they have 16 or 14 or 10 inch lifts for ifs trucks including our dodges they even have dual front shocks. I wish I knew before I bought my 5inch lift. my pic shows 35 inch tires but now I'm running 37 inch BFG's they don't rub at all and ride awsome

By the way, its www.wholesalesuspensionoutlet.com as I was just on their site.

I also found nothing for a 1500, but they do have kits for the 2500 models.

They also have a ton of pics all over the page.

Diesel Wannabe, love the way your truck looks. My next truck will be a 4x4 2500 Diesel and I'm thinking about 5 - 7" of lift with 35's. Still looks cool, somewhat practical. The 2500 should be able to handle that no problem, right?

Well, since you haven't answered my question, I'll have to assume whatI thought all along. You don't understand it either. You just wanna look cool.Have fun with your Mall Crawler! Watch out for the big scary curbs. LOL
So he wants to have a great looking truck to roll around on and does not like a stock vehcile.
How many lift kits do you see out their actually built performace? COme on.. Lets stay with a Jeep since one is in your avatar. W will pick a TJ and start listing lift kits versus performace working kits out their.

Fabtech
Pro COmp
Skyjacker
Nth Degree
Superlift
Rancho
Rubicon Express


now how many of these kits will perform? 2. The two SMALLEST companies on the list. Tells me that alot of people want to look good. Hell I dont know ANYONE who praises a procomp lift but they are one big company.

I always have a bigger truck for my highway duties... but when you want to call me a mall crawler, Ill bring out my little jeep...... then we can play....

You were right about the web address but look again 1500 is a half ton thats mostly what they carry, look closer. As for Vegashd my truck looks good and functions better than it did stock I don't care if you believe or not .You must must be one uglyass s.o.b. thats why your against looks.
