Guys what lifts are you running that Ride THE BEST.
Lets see them. Theone I currently have is about 9" over stock hight. Its too ruffffff for me anymore and am going lower. Whats out there that you guys are happy with
Poor geometry, not and not adjustable are the main draw backs to their system.
Full Traction makes a better system, but sometimes it's a rather lengthy wait to get it from them.
You'll keep more wheel travel out of a leaf spring setup vs. coilovers on a 99-04 if you are looking at a 8" lift.
DC....I am actually looking to drop the lift abit...Ill miss the head turns it gets but its impractical for my 5 foot nothing wife to drive of and when she needs too. LOL. Pulling a trailer isnt much fun with a 8.5" kit either
SO looking at either a 4 or 6 inch lift--probably a 6....
They are both on sale, so during checkout 10% is discounted (also discounts any Icon accessories added to them i.e. dual stabilizers, adj. trac bar, etc..)
For a 99-04 you could do the Full Traction Coilover Conversion with the Icon Coilovers.
Very nice kit that performs very well (especially with the Icon coilovers being specifically valved for the SD and using a progressive spring rate). The only downside of that kit......is actually getting it from Full Traction, since it sometimes can take a while.
I've thought about doing that combo...but at an 8" lift for quite some time now.
not sure what kinda funds you have but if you want to have a smooth ride and something that looks real good and not many people have i would go with race runner/sway away. they are top of the line shocks
Love my 4.5" Donahoe (Icon) hanger kit. I think now the 6" would be a better size for tire clearance. I get rub with the 315's. I thought this kit would be indestructible, but I was wrong. The drop track bar bracket actually broke off on the drivers side where it bolts to the frame. They sent a new one over to the shop and it will be fixed Sat am. Nice that it was a no questions warranty, they just said no problem and please send us the old one so we can look it over. You can check out the thread in this forum: unbelievabe!!!
Probably not gonna go the air route. The truck sits ALOT. TOO MUCH. All I do is drive it to my buds house---2 miles down the road from me or Lowes which is 6 miles down the road from me.
yea my buddy got a 04 on 10.5 on 38s on racerunner coilover rides like a cadallic,its crazy. alot of people are going with the DR. i guess its just me that i dont like it but whatever floats the boat. after you get it done gotta see some pics
