Talking New Lift!!

I just got my new lift and wheels and tires on!!!
went with a 3" PA body lift, and a 2" susp. lift (crank torstion & New Blocks) Goodyear Wrangler MTR's 315/75/16 on Centerline HellCats Cant wait to get to the trails!!!

It turned out pretty good i think!

Looks sweet!

I am installing a 3" PA lift on my truck soon and was thinking I wanted the 305/70/17 but after seeing the 35's and 2" of extra suspension lifts I am now thinking . How much did the new rear blocks cost ya?? Do you think you'll need to change gears due to the loss of performance??

well i looked around to find steel blocks, aluminum seems to crack more often. you can fin the blocks for about $40 and if you look around some places throw in teh "U" bolts.
(truck comes with 2" block, i took out 2" and put in 4")

I just got the truck done, and SO FAR i don't think i NEED new gears but i think if i get another bonus check i'll get 4.56 gears
but thats becouse i want to do trail riding and think it will help.

But i have a 5 speed also, and am told that helps with the bigger tires.

Ya that 2" extra really makes a diffrance!!

How did ya do it??

Did you get the 2" from cranking on the torsion bars?? Do you have to do any thing else before you start cranking? What kind of price range for lift and new tire and rims. Looking for a stance like you got without spending $$$1500 just for a susp. lift
thanks
