Check out gmfullsize.com for the most part 38" tires and IFS is considered a waste of money and somewhat unsafe.

Nice truck! I love my 2005.
if i were u being an 03 dont use a superlift. there product is chinsey. my buddy has a 6" on his and its about a 5in. for an 03 if your looking to drive it everyday still either a BDS or CST or fabtech have really good ifs lifts for your truck. A 6in suspension and a 3in body will clear 38's. if your looking to do a straight axle dont mess around. www.fullthrottlesuspension.com they also have ifs lifts. or an www.offroadunlimited.com SAC kit. im in the process of a SAC on my 91. not a full throttle i dont have that kinda money. im using the ORU conversion kit using a 77.5-79 ford High pinion dana 60 with 6.5 in leafs in the front due to the conversion adding 2.5in.and a 14 bolt with 4in leafs shackle reverse and a 1in tapered block for pinion angle out back. for 9in total lift and 38's. i just ordered everything but still looking for axles so if you no of any one PM me!

thanks guys the help is appreciated, this is my first 4x4 and i will need all the help i can get, the 38s will have a rim size of 22'', i wont be driving the truck everyday but i will be driving it alot.....thanks guys!
Keep in mind that if you go to those huge ass blingin rims and 38" tires your going to need a major brake upgrade, a parachute or a big anchor or something. Takes alot more to stop those things. Best bet is either Baer brakes or SSBC brakes both have some great upgrades but they cost alot.Originally Posted by dr doom

superlifts state that for ifs they are 4.5 to 6"...buddy has a 95 sierra and he bought the six and it only turned out to be like 5 too....we looked at the paperwork closer and it states that for ifs it is 4.5 to 6"......just go to sfa and u won't have anymore worries....blue check out durham auto salvage they sell axles pretty cheap....also there is a guy by my house here selling matching front and rear 4.56 lockers....14 bolt rear dana 44 and dana 60 front.....not sure how much he wants he lives right on the corner of national and racine.....

**** Fords. ooo boy solid front axel. y would we do that when we can enjoy actually working on our stuff and making our truck 100 times better by putting it in ourselves. Even though some fords are mint like that powerstrokes but still its more fun to build it ourselves. and besides who would even want a FORD!?!?!?!
