Looks mean, so is that only a 6" suspension lift and what size wheels? Lets see more pictures ;)

[primerk5]

Don't really have that many pictures of it.

tires are 285 60 16s I believe. I only lifted it because I got the Mickey thompson wheels (Classic IIs) I opted for the 10 in wide wheels and it made my tires hit my fenders. I decided to keep the wheels and lift the truck.

nice nice, how much did you spend on the lift kit??

[primerk5]

I think it was 1350. I won't lift another IFS truck again. Talk about a Pain in the A$$. Not to mention they sent me the wrong subframe to begin with. Putting my suspension 3/4 of an inch wider on either side. Then they sent me the correct one. so I had to take everything back apart to install it. Wasn't fun. Alot of drilling and cutting. and grinding.

So now with the correct subframe did the kit come with all the bolts and washers and longer break cables? and was the kit worth the money?

[primerk5]

I would say it is worth the money. 3500 kits arn't around like 1500 and 2500 kits are. I would of liked to had something that didn't drop the top control arms. Something with extended knuckles and the drop subframe would be a better bet. If you can get something like that I would go for that. My kit came with nitro shocks. No extended brakelines though. You just use drop brackets for the front and rear. I just moved my factory brackets off the frame and bent the metal line lower down. Comes with all hardware.

Thought I'd throw an updated pic up. It got a B-day present in July at the bloomsburg Jamboree. (New Tires) Thats about all thats been done to it in a while.

Juster a question why wouldnt you what the front stance of your truck wider? Isnt wider better? I have a 3500 dually as well but Im looking for an eight inch lift. Will probably end up building myself or doing the straight axle swap. Just try to learn as much about the lift as possible. Ive only done 1 independant front suspension lift on my 94 burban and it was a lot of $ for what I got. Im guessing just the bottom half of your lift was 3/4 wider?
