Powerdyne s/c = Powerdyyne supercharger he plans on adding.

JBA Headers = exhaust headers for his truck.

CAI = Cold Air Intake, an specially modified intake to allow cooler air to be gotten to make more power.

tire size...

Post by KCustom »

I woudl say 32".........if you want to really get out and pound the truck. 33" if you want to look good and do some wheeling.....Take a look at Hoses turck on the site I believe he is drining 31.5s and is moving around the suspension pretty good....With cut-outs and the SL You could easly run 33" and with a bl 35s....

Oh ok, i was hoping to put 33's on there. Wow, the possibility of 35's on my truck sounds awesome. Would a shop put both a Body lift and a suspension lift on? I heard that shops wont mix lifts. Plus, to run 33's or even 35's what gears would i have to swap too?

first off, welcome to the site, second off, everybody gets different dates on the actual date you can actually purchase your very own 6in lift, i was told by the years end, you were told spring, i really dont like the sound of spring, i much prefer the projected date of Oct 19 as KCustom has given us, i don't know who you talked to but there dates are confused, either that or there season's, haha, i honestly believe KCustom's date is gonna be real close, maybe not dead on, but you should expect to be able to purchase by years end. if you dont want to wait you can use the Trail Master 5in lift, but if i were you i would wait till the super lift came out, it has had some really nice reviews from those lucky enough to have driven them, or happen to have them on there trucks :poke: KCustom :lol: :lol:
