kind of off topic but what wheels and tires do are you going to run

in regards to the gas mileage, my lieometer says 11.5 mpg with 6 inch lift and 35's. Im not sure how accurate it is, but i think its close.

The 08's get crummy mileage but i hear they get better as you break them in.

Kelderman is without a doubt the best riding lift that you can buy at any price for fullsize pickup trucks. Whichever lift you decide on, make sure that it includes new radius arms, not just drop brackets. 4 link rear will deliver a fantastic ride.

yeah it was an episopde of Extreme 4X4 where they put the Kelderman on.

The kit runs around 10K for everything, thats air tanks air lines the electrical for it, and so on.

It is an amazing lift but talk about breakin the bank.....

Get a Rize lift man!

Yeah Kelderman costs a lot, but the adjustability is simply amazing. It rides like a sedan, not just better than stock but as though youre not in an 8000 pound truck. But hey, when the truck costs 60K and the wheels and tires are gonna run you 3-4K, why worry about penny pinching?
