Thanks Drew. Best truck I have ever owned (I have owned them all GMC, Chev, Ford). It took me almost 40 years to finally get the one I wanted, but it has been worth the wait. Different subject, I was reading your thread with MMO and PD and I am going to try that this weekend. What a great site!

I think your suspension depends on the use of the truck and tire size you want to run. I have the 6' set up which is a little more radical than the 4.5' but I am 21 so radical is good for now.

Whats the deal with not being able to pull a gooseneck with a bigger lift? I bought my truck with a gooseneck already installed just havent used it yet, just thought it was nice to have in case i needed it.
If you lift your bed higher you will have to put a jack under the front of the trailer to get it to hook on the gooseneck ball and will be towing the trailer unlevel, rear bumper will probably drag

BLACKPearl06,your truck is sick! What tire size & wheel backspacing are you running? I have the the 37"s with 4.5" and they rub like crazy when I turn. I always wanted the bw flares, but I would rip them right off.

I have looked over the previous posts on suspension lifts and I wanted to get some more input. I have an 06 cummins 4x4 and want to do a moderate lift. 4.5" - 6". What do you guys sugest?? I know Kore is pricy and they are a true performance lift. I dont do alot of intense off road driving, so I looked at the 4.5" Fabtech and the Tuff Country 6". What are your thoughts??
Look into Carli/Lorenz/Thuren suspensions. Less price than Kore and you get a great on road and off road ride than any off the shelf lift, period. Unless your looking at a pavement queen for looks. You will be able to fit 35" or 37" tires w/ any of the mentioned suspension systems. Three inches in the front and one to one and half in the rear w/o blocks (new rear mini or full leafs).
