Default Who's lifted their '09s already??

I know theres photos out there on the Superlift website, the BDS site, Procomp site, etc. But who on here has lifted their '09 half ton?? Throw some pics up and post what your lift is, what size tires you've got, wheel size, and wheel back spacing...

I think there's only 1 lifted '09 Ram on the forum so far, but I don't believe we've seen pictures yet.

Ya, I hear ya... I know I want 35's underneath mine.. but i havent decided if I want a 4" lift or 6" lift... both are illegal in Maine so that isn't a deciding factor... I just don't want the 35s to look dinky with the 6" lift. All the 6" lifts I've seen are saying they fit with 37s.

37's would probably need a gear swap too. That would end up being an expensive ordeal after the lift, wheels, tires, gears, alignment, and all of the other little things needed.

Still, I think you should go for 37's!

37's won't need a gear swap, you have the 3.92's and they'll do just fine with them. If you have the extra cash i would throw some 4.10's in there just to put everything back in sync, plus it'll improve your mpg. I would go 6" with some big 35's on there and then you wont have to worry about gears. I saw an 08 around here with a 6" lift and 35's and it looks damn good, plus anything over 35" starts to degrade performance without further changes.

That is what I meant. The truck will move, but not very well.

Is there anyone on here that has done a level/lift kit? There is a place in Alcoa Tennessee called Top Gun Customz and they sell a Daystar 2.5" level/lift kit that looks pretty nice and the price seems right. I hope to get my new truck in about a week or 2 and that is one of the first things I would like to do. Here is a link to the website, I would like to hear your thoughts on this setup and if you know anyone running it. Thanks
