thanks man. 700 is about 200 over my budget haha. Just dropped 2K on a 6" lift, 1200 on gears/install.. My truck budget is about drained!

 

Wow $700, I was quoted $300, 2.5 true dual, x-pipe, and SS tips. If I were you I'd shop around first.

 

idk thats best quote so far, but that 700 is including 2 high flow cats, 2 11" magnaflow bodies, the full pipin( includin x pipe) and 2 4"x18" rolled tips with installation. it cost about the same to do that myself so its not that bad a deal.

 

hey USAFORD wat 6" did you get, and wat was your reasonin for regearin off topic of the thread, however im doin a 6" procomp with 35's and i was wonderin if i need/have to regear.

 

oh ok didn't see the part about the 2 cats.

 

There are plenty of people on here that run 35s without regearing. With that said, there is some performance loss you will experience by running the larger tires. Regearing will help you retain some of that performance. If you go any larger than 35s regearing would be almost necessary. However, if you can live with the performance loss, I wouldn't spend the money.

 

i dont even know my gear ratio right now, but how much performance loss are we talkin bout. i had a 2000 chevy 1500 with the 5.7 i have 3" body, 6"sus. and 38's with 4.10's(that were already on the truck before i lifted) so im not sure.

 

 

I got the Skyjacker platinum series 6". I was TOLD that it came with new Platinum series coils AND struts, but it only came with the struts, so i have to call and do what i can to get the company to send me the coils they said i was getting.

I am re-gearing because I will be driving my truck down to florida from Iowa when i get back from Afghanistan, and the tranny was already searching pretty good before i left. I got custom tunes written for my CS from PHP as well. And I might go up to 36's or 37's once the KM2s are warn.

 

It sounds like you found the vid of my old '04, no?

I am also the guy you probably heard run the dual Bullets if it was the burgandy truck. The 11" bodies sounded great, lazy idle, no highway noise, loud every other time though. But I did not run 3" pipe I ran dual 2.5" X piped.

 

Yeah i plan on dual 2.25" piping, xpiped with dual moroso spiral flows, probably the 18" body instead of the 12". I think it might make it sound deeper.

 

yes indeed it was ur truck i found sounded awesome 2.5 is wat im goin with i was goin with 3 cuz thats wat the shop suggested.
