I really like the KMC revolvers.........
17" or 18" and probably 39.5's after the body lift....

Schmidtty, your truck is freaking gorgeous!

I have the Procomp stage 1, but I am going to add coil-overs to it and get some nicer wheels for the street. How do you like the Procomp coil-overs?

I am back and forth between the Fabtechs, Procomps, or making my own setup with King or Fox.

Thanks Brother...I am extremely happy with the way it looks after waiting to lift it for over 2 1/2 years.

I love the way the Pro Comps ride, even though mine are cranked almost to the max the ride is still compliant. It is a little stiffer than stock, but a lot of that can be attributed to the entire setup (lift/wheels/tires). The valving is perfect for the street...haven't had a chance to beat on it offroad, but she is primarily a street queen unfortunately. But then again, all of our trucks are street queens 75-90% of the time anyway.

If you do a lot of offroading I would say just go ahead and buy the Kings...I have heard good things about them as well.

Again, I appreciate the comments on the truck. I am in love with her all over again!

8" total lift 6+2, not counting whatever lift from tire height. It'll be 11" total If I proceed with the body lift......

Congratulations!

Question though... If you're going to spend the money for a Fabtech+body wouldn't it just make sense to get a Rize with a spacer for 10" all suspension lift? Same cost in the end..... I guess with a fabtech+spacer+body you get 1" more lift..........

Hey there.... That is exactly what i am going to be ordering this week. I only have one question...Why did you order the 5" blocks AND the 2" AAL? You only need one or the other to make it level. If you use the 5" blocks AND the 2" AAL, you will be back to 2" higher in rear even with the 2" spacers up front.
Just curious if there is something I dont know before I place my order...also, where did you buy it all from? Thanks.

the 6 inch lift comes with a 5 inch block and sits level. with a 2 inch spacer on front you need 2 inches in back,hence, 2 inch aal
