You Can Easily Put 2" Or 3" Rear Lift Blocks On The Dodges.... Makes Up For The Loads.... I Also Put Air Bags With A Compressor On Mine... Very Slick On The Fly Adjustment Of Height

Since you've done this before it should be real easy putiing air bags on my truck

You can't get 285's under yours, my 2002 has 285's no problem, well except we had to remove about 1" of material off the lower bumper guard, you can't even tell.

I tried 285's and there was a slight rub at full turn(with stock chevy rim, custom rims have too much offset). If I could get it up an inch or two they should fit(no extra plastic under bumper). I've never bottomed out my stock 265/75/16's

How many hours labor to install? Can you do the alignment? Maybe I can get the 285 BFG's under my 98 Chev

Just wondering what fuel mileage is like on your truck... pm me if you like.

I average about 20 with 60%highway/40% city driving. I get as high as 22 driving to the cabin(all highway) if the wind isn't blowing from the east. Everything is totally stock and I rarely go over 110 kph. I may start playing to get better mileage this summer.

Lots Of Aftermarket Add-ons Available To Increase Gas Mileage(and Power Too), And They're Not All That Expensive, And Will Pay For Themselves In A Short Period Of Time With The Savings In Fuel Etc..........

Do tell.... any savings with gas prices where they are would be great.

If u WANT RIDE DO NOT DO THIS, What happens is the stock a arms top out.. this meaning u have no top travel . when u hit a bump ur suspension is hittin the stopper ur front diff feels like its coming of the ground. You can crank the torsions to gain a bit but no more than 1 inch.. If u put in these keys u should also put in a set of COGNITO arms which will allow the travel ..it will feel like a stock ride..just my 2cents.. bin ther done that.......

Here's pics of my truck and my bro's truck.

Slamnek - Ride is good, front end aligns nice...any further comments?

 

[Slamnek]

The front end is a little stiffer than stock but not too bad. They did a wheel alignmnet so it drive's as straight as an arrow. I was very impressed on how much higher the ride height is over stock.

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Thanks, something I might have to consider doing to my Chev?

 

[jeremy]

what did that cost??

 

[Slamnek]

what did that cost??

$1685 tax in. That was for 285 toyos and the leveling kit all in stalled with wheel alignment.

 

[Summitric]

Ouch.. Too Bad You Weren't Closer.... Coulda Done It Way Cheaper..... Next Time!!!

 

[Slamnek]

Really, and i thought it was not too bad.

i just priced it out in my parts department and she said any new gm about $1000 installed the right way

What do you mean by the right way. I got it done at OK tire in lloydminster and they do the majority of the lift kits for the chev and GM dealerships so i am pretty sure it was done properly. The one thing i did not do is put longer shocks on but still may do that. I had a previous post on here asking for prices on 285/70/17 toyo open country A/T installed with nitrogen instead of air (did'nt ask for that but they did it anyway) CST lift and level kit, 3hrs labour @ $85/hr, wheel alignment and GST. For some reason that post was deleted. My total was $1648.5.

i just meant a tech doing it instead of me drinking 24 beers and attempting it myself.

 

[Slamnek]

AAAHHHHH i'm pickin up what yer layin down!! Can anyone give me a price on what i have listed above??
