whats the best lift kit and tires avail
#11
ok Im going to get a bunch of flack for this but heres what I did. Shackles and air shocks in the rear with a onboard compressor rear, lift 2-5 inches of lift Ebay tbar keys and balljoint flip front, 3inches of lift. I also have a 2inch bl.
Now I wheel my truck hard regularly and its daily driven. That being said I knew when I put the keys in my balljoints and cv's would wear faster. I already replace balljoints and idler arm yearly( not a problem got lifetime warranty parts) and as for cv joints replaced both..... 2 years ago (also lifetime warranty) Yes the angles are steep but its not like they are blowing apart every 3 months.
So moral of my long story is that If you dont mind doing a front end rebuild once a year than do what I did. if not get the rc kit and go to town.
