So technically i could crank up the torsion bars and add like a one inch leaf to make it a true 6 inch lift, is this correct???
ive heard a few people get that much out of them...... but 75% of the people say they will never buy them again.....

im running skyjacker shocks. I dont know exact model my uncle brought them in for me through his shop. I didnt like the rough country shocks i found they were stiff of a ride so i changed them out. The shocks that come with it will work with the add a leaf or at least they do for chevys. My buddy has a chevy and he has the same shocks and hes running the add a leaf.

Id upgrade to better shocks though you wont like the ones that come with it.

I'm gonna be watching this closely. I have a 3" body lift, pro-comp aal, and 35" KM2's. Would like to see more of the 4+3 combo. I have the 4.56 gears to put in, already have the 35's and don't want to upsize tires or gears since I already have them. I think 35's would look too small on a 6+3 lift. Here is what i look like now.



I've been trying to decide between Rancho, RCD, and Rough Country. I know there is a difference in the apparent quality of these lifts, but am hoping the RC would be OK for me since I don't offroad.

Jump, I got an easy fix on the gears. Sell them to me, and get 4.88s to run some 37s+.
