idk yet what would you think it would be worth? i was thinkin around like 1500 but idk what a good price to sell it 4 would be,

and death metal that would sound like a really good way to go but think about it the 14' lift is 3000 round numbers, ok lets say i do the 3' bl thats about 295 for the kit then about 800 to install at a shop, then the king coilovers i beleive when i was looking into them when i first got my truck lifted it was about 1500 installed for the front, then i would have to lift the rear end up 2 inches to level it out after the coilovers and for deaver leaf springs your looking at 700 thats puting you at a grand total or 3295 so i dont beleive it would save me that much

Yeah I see your point. It's gonna cost you some money either way...I guess if your already set on the other lift than go for it. You won't have a hard time getting rid of that Rize kit around here haha.

db, your still running stock gears? your truck has to be a dog.

and what about a BL on top of the 14" kit? you would definitely have the biggest truck on the site then. and that will say something for all the 4.6 guys! lol

ya im running stock gears right now lol, and actually its not that bad, its not like im racing it haha, but it should really pick up and i should really feel a difference when i get those 4.88s ...let me put it this way i have the super chips programmer set on tow mode and custom exhaust, my dad has the 5.4 screw lariat with same lift and 38's with exhaust and no programmer, and my truck beats his off the line but he catches me after a few hundred feet so its not that bad

and a regular cab with 17 inches of lift hell why dont i just enter into monster jam next year lmao ill be almost as tall as them haha that would be badass and redicoulous

wish i could get my dad to lift his truck. almost got him talked into a 4x4 but it didnt happen. i did talk him into a 2.5" kit so thats an improvement lol

i mean like you said your not racing why not 17" haha.

ok. let me try and understand your logics on what you just said. your afraid of getting cut off doing 60-70 correct and worrying about tipping? but yet going 60-70 with a 14" lift your not? im just messing with you. can't wait to see your truck when its done.
