Thanks, I pretty much did the samething tallquad did. I got a 3 inch Fabtech lift with a 3 inch PA body lift. I went with a 4.10 gear with a Mopar limited slip differential, 33x12.5 BFG's,589 Eagle wheels, and an Abbott gear box to correct the speedo. No AIM, I'd stay clear of them. I don't think I'd go any higher with the current types of lifts out there now. Maybe one day they'll have spindles for our trucks. Right now I'm installing 1.7 Crower Roller Rockers, I hope it helps. What year is your truck? Any pics? If you want to talk more my e-amil is g.warmoth@worldnet.att.net.
Wouldn't want any other!

Nice truck. I like the color.LOL. Is it all bare bones now or have you done some mods to it yet? Yeah, I got the 3 inch Fabtech performance lift and did it all myself. I think I got it on sale for about $700. The kit included the rear add a leafs, front springs and a arms. Only thing I didn't like was the Fabtech shocks. Soon to have Bilsteins on. You could go with a 4.56 gear if you want but your RPM's on the road will be high. Let me know how things go.
Wouldn't want any other!

Yea it's got some mods to it...but ran out of money from last summer's job in Jan....so this summer is mod craze again but i'm still not way too sure if i wanna go this route....i definitely want to but there's a lotta money involved....and i really have no mechanical skill with only a couple of basic tools. I'm pretty sure i'm gonna do the 4.10s with the trak-loc....i'm gonna email ya so we won't have to post on and off on this board.

some 33's would look good on the rt rims. backspaceing might be an issue. I beleive chaximus is running 4.50 or close with his fabtech with some relocation of brake components.
If money a concern you could go with 2inch coil spacers(not coils) this gives you 3 inches of lift and I myself have never had an issue with mine. somepeople are concerned with the loss of droop(downward travel)

Yea, your probably right about 33's looking good on R/T wheels, but i doubt i'll do something like that....if i did this, i'd prob sell the Nitto Performance tires with 17" rt wheels.
