I'd suggest the 6 inch Fabtech lift. If you want to go taller, add a Performance Accessories body lift.

Here's another option... SuperLift 4.5". I now have over 5000 miles on this system without any complaints. I am running 35X13" **** Cepek FC II on Procomp 6001 18X9.5" wheels. The ride is excellent and I receive numerous compliments

Check out Superlifts web site.. They have a very informative video that shows installation and components. BoB

How are your CV angles? Are they close to factory? I've been trying to decide between Rancho and Superlift. Thanks.

I know the picture is a little blurred but the cv/axles are at factory angles due to the UCA replacement with the kit. Go to SuperLift Web site and view the video for 4.5" FIT installation. I really enjoyed the video and it helped with my installation Good luck in your selection. BoB

Duffman0286... Yes I agree, The **** Cepek FC II are awesome. Excellent tire wear. These are quality tires, My truck rides so smooth. I have zero vidration in the steering wheel at any speed. The tires are not cheap but, You get what you pay for.

I was part of the 90-91 Desert Shield/Storm Deployment. I was assigned to First MEB out of Hawaii. I was a Technical Representative assigned to the USMC MAG from Kaneohe, HI. I supported F/A-18's as an I level Technical Representative. I worked for McDonnell Douglas(Now Boeing) at the time. I was serving with the Marines in Shakisa, Bahrain. I was only there from Oct. 90 thru Apr. 91. I DO NOT miss the sandbox...

Thanks for all you do!! Semper Fi Devil Dog!!!

My **** Cepek FC II are Awesome!! I drive(Off-road conditions) mostly in mud and sand. The mud consist of 'Good Ole' North Carolina back woods MUD!!" Deep and thick. The tire treads seem to LOAD UP quickly but with a burp of the throttle they self clean really quick, or with a little speed they are self cleaning. I've traversed some mud holes that entirely covered my wheels/tires and continued to plow through until the mud backed against the front bumper and stopped me... I was however able to reverse myself out!! I also spend several weeks a year on the North Carolina Outer Banx(Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout) Very deep sand. And these tires "Float" right accross the stuff!! I've even tried to "Stick It" [power braking]and as soon as I let off the brake the truck "Hops" right back on top of the sand... I guess its because of the wide foot print(13.5" width)

I have had BFG AT T/A's and really enjoyed them as well(good ride quality and long lasting). But I must say these DC FC II's are the best all-round tires I've owned. I really can't speak about the DC mud countrys. BoB
