The lift I'm getting

I've been having trouble deciding between a 4 or 6 inch lift, well I found a 5 inch and fell in love.

Fab-Tech want's about $2400 for all the same stuff, I didn't want to have to sacrifise my steering and ride with getting the I-Beam and Radius arm drop brackets on a lift for around the same price I found this one.

I'm so excited!

What size tire/rim are you planning on running? The best lift is usually just enough to keep the tires from hitting when they bottom out (just my personal experience).Tall trucks tend to inherit a lot of potential problems, rear pinion angle, front end wear, performance, fuel economy and it costs a lot, but they sure look good

I only plan on jumping up to 33 inch tires, I already have 31's on.

As for gearing I'm happy with my 3:31 combo with my 31's so I"ll proababy jump to 4:10's with the 33's.

I'm on the freeway for an hour every day here in Los Angeles so I don't want to sacrifise to much of my gas milage.

5" IS A LOT OF LIFT FOR 33'S, IT'LL SURE LOOK MEAN THOUGH
IF YOU HAVE A 4X4 EXPECT FUEL ECONOMY TO DROP, AS FOR GEARS I HAVE 3:73'S AND WITH 33'S I COULD DEFINITLEY TELL THEY WERE SLOWIN ME DOWN, THATS WHY I DROPPED BACK TO 31",DEFINITELY GO FOR GEARS IF YOU GO FOR BIGGER TIRES

Go with 35's and 4.56 gears.
It will feel just like stock but BIG as hell.
