Your Friend is an Idiot, and ill be an A$$, For one, 38's one a LT kit will smash your cab into your feet unless you move the cab back, and go with a 1-piece front end. And no it wont give you that much lift. The only lift the kit provides is where you set your coil height at by turing them up/down on the C/O. Or if there is a lift built into the spindle..which i have not seen more than 2-3in on any Full LT kits, only Mid-ravel.

Hell, my LT kit im building will sit at same if not lower than the 3.5 lift spindles that were on it. Thats with 37in tires.

Now the price comes into play..

you ready to drop $2-3K just on shocks?
Then another $3-4K on the suspension?

Oh and if you want your to the sky lift tires, your gonna need to upgrade your hubs/snouts to handle the 38's there is another $2K+

Then tubing for the shock hoops, Fiberglass fenders to clear your SICKKKK MT 38's on your "Baja kit"

Lets see, your at about $10-11K.... and thats just in the front. Good luck with that. And be sure to post pics of this Epic Fail for us! k thanx bye!

Call fabtech and get a 7.5in crossmember kit and some lift blocks. Do you even have desert in florida?

That is what I was thinking about and I like the look of a truck that high. I wish my truck was 4wd but it is only 2 so that is what I am stuck with.

Well instead of making a worthless post, do a little research 1st. then ask some questions once you have a little bit of info so you can contribute more info..Like your budget, what exactly you want. And not just "baja kit"

Google and Yahoo are not hard to use.

BTW, i never said you were and idiot..just your friend who suggested a "baja kit" cause he obviously has no idea what it really is and capable of. And to put 38's on it.

Well I looked on Google for about an hour before I posted this thread. I didn't find anything so that is why I posted asking to see if this was a real kit or not. From the responce I have gotten I am going to go with that this kit isn't good for what I want to do with my truck.
