lift kit - which one

chazzvette · 11-17-2005, 11:09 AM

Want to lift my `03 1500HD 6" with 35" tires. Which lift is the best and why. Also do not want any white letter tires, any suggestions? how about tires with a little less aggressive tread design ? comments about alignment, spedo recalibrate, front shaft issues, kunckles vs ? .
thanks for any info.

Go with a reputable company. i am not recommending any but you can look them up. What you buy is what you get. STAY AWAY FROM BODY LIFT, unless you want your truck looking goofy. As for tires i like Real agressive tires so I cant help much there, check with your local tire dealer. If you lift more than a couple inches get i kit with a front differential drop, or you need longer shafts that will only bind up anyway. Speedo recalibrate on you truck has to be done with a computer.

id go with pro comp their kits keep the front end width stock you have to use 8 inch wide rims to run 35's with the procomp kits go with the bfg all-terrains they are great tires

That tire and wheel combo will work with all lifts that drop the front diff. procomp, tough country,superlift, just to name a few. Do some internet shopping around, see what you can find
