I have the 4.88's with 39.5 IROKs and the power off the line is great. I can light them bad dudes up from a dead stop. Although the 4.88's seem a little low gearing for 37's. I might be wrong but aint that what you have Bud? On my truck with them big tires it is still lower than the stock gear/tire size ratio. When I am doing 70 my Speedometer says 81. When I put the 3in. body on and the 42's she should be in a little better shape then.

4.88s are perfect for 37s .. 2100 rpms at 70 mph.

42s and you really need 5.13s but you can't get them for the 8.8 reverse cut.

I'm not to worried about beating my truck hard when its lifted, I treat it pretty nice. If I want to get rough I'll take my company F350, thats what its built for. I get my fill of offroad driving just working as it is, don't think I'll need to take my truck offroad, she'll be a street queen.

Guys here are some more Pictures from the lift install, I couldn't finish the lift today because Monday I called Rize about some the rear brake brackets that were missing in the Kit, anyways the owner or boss informed me that there was something wrong with some of the spindles they manufactured for the 12" lift. The owner said they didn't know if mine was one of the ones affected, so they didn't want to take any chances and sent me new spindles overnight so that I could finish the lift. Well leave it to UPS to screw it up. They left the spindles at the hub in Louisville so I have to finish tommorrow. I'm severely angry at UPS right now. Anyways RIZE's owner called me a little while ago to see how the lift had gone, needless to say he was angry too because he had paid for overnight service and didn't get it. Of all the time UPS could have messed up.



New front driveshaft

The new driveshaft I purchased as an extra option from Top Gun Customz. They were the ones that sold me the kit. It cost $750. Oh and there are more pictures in my gallery.

Hmm, thats weird, the guys I was dealing with for my lift were getting on like the Front driveshaft was included with the 8" lift kit for 07.

Tell me what you guys think of these prices, I have the quote sitting here in front of me.

Lift with Driveshaft $4415.20
Install for everything $1497.00
Bilstien 5150 $219.00 each
Wheels and Tires $3500(that was a guess on their part, couldn't get a hold of the tireshop it was a Sunday) I may just get the wheels and tires on my own.
Haven't priced out the kings yet.
All the prices are Canadian Dollars
They quoted me gears but I lost the paper

Amp Research Steps $1995.00 plus install

That was just the starting prices, I'll snake em down some yet.
