On TRUCKS! tv show they did an install of the skyjacker 6" system. Looked pretty good. I think i have been seening them around $1700 then install. I would guess around $2000. I havent looked into to see if the stock wheels wil fit. www.skyjacker.com

RE: 6" lift help
I just put a Fabtech 6" lift with 35" tires on my '02 QC SB. I'm real happy with the kit so far. The only problem is with wait for the programmer so I can fix the speedo calibration and fix the shift points. I just got back from a trip up to northern california and had a hard time keeping it in O/D. I'm hoping the programmer fixes this or I'm gonna have to look into regearing my rear end. I'm running 3:55's now, I'm thinking 3:73's might be the ticket.

RE: 6" lift help
I have a 7.5" fabtech lift on my '01. I put 4.10 gears in it and am running Pro Comp X terrains. I bought the programmer for my truck and it does not adjust for gear changes for the Dodge's. That sucked. Redhawk996, just remember with 3.73, you might not be happy. That will be a very small change. I had the same problem were it was hard to keep it in OD. I put the 4.10's in there and at highway speeds I am only at 2250 rpm. I started with 3.55's also.

RE: 6" lift help
So it'll stay in O/D for ya now without bogging down and downshifting? I want it to stay in O/D when I give it some gas without jumping down on me.I just posted another question regarding this issue before I read this...Doh!
BTW, what size tires are you running?

I am running a 5.9L and yes I do have the same rear end as you do. It does not downshift on me if I give it a little gas, before it would downshift if I was going up the slightest hill. Now it accelerates in OD. I am running 35x12.50x15 tires on 15x10 wheels.
