They quoted me that price a while back, so I am going to call them and make sure that still is the case. If so, thats probably the route I will go, and then get some gap guards. We'll see.

Hmm, looks like I may have to get that done before I head back.

Selling drugs pays off!

The dumbass at Big O told me that with a 3" PA body lift the biggest tire I can run in a 33". What an idiot. Not sure if I want people like that working on my truck or not.

I was talking about TX150 clearing 38s or 40s but you'll be able to clear 35s.

Yeah I know who you were talking to. Just the fact that you brought up something about tire sizes made me remember what that idiot said to me. I was like, "dude I can fit 35's now with a 2.5 Autospring and a little trim of the lower valance, and you're telling me once I go up 3 more inches I cant fit 35's? HA!"

Friggin idiots. When will they ever have somebody who knows their **** working in a tire shop? I guess maybe when they start paying more than $9.00, oh well.

Wandell,
I'm having a hard time understanding why no one makes a 3" spindle lift for the new trucks. I contacted fabtech and they said that they only offer the 0-3" adjustable dirt logic shocks at this time. How would rancho's differ? Also, I know they offer adjustable shocks as well. Is this the new alternative to leveling blocks? I really don't want to mess too much with the control arm angles and never have liked the thought of a body lift. Am I just screwed here, or being to picky.

Either way you'll have 'angles' unless you go with a full on suspension lift.

thump,
I'm talking about the crazy 'z' looking control arms I'm seeing on trucks with spacers and coils with spacers. The only thing--as I understand it--that would eliminate/signifigantly reduce those bad angles would be a drop bracket such as in a spindle lift...correct? Aren't you running the pro comp 6" lift? Why didn't you stick with the 33's? Also, did you regear with the 35's?

They don't make 'spindle' lifts for this body style.

Why didn't I keep the 33s? Because I was clearing them with just a leveling kit and it looked dumb SKYING those 33s. I actually have the Rancho lift and no I didn't regear with the 35s, it really doesn't need it. I'll be getting 4.88s when I get my new tires, 38s.
