Do you realize that lifting it will void most of if not all of your factory warranty?

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

**Anakonda69** · 11-28-2005, 09:59 AM

yeah go to sfa if you are gonna lift it that much....maybe check out a bds lift as well...might be a lil cheaper

**MoreTorque** · 11-28-2005, 10:19 AM

Nice truck! I love my 2005.

**SmokinRAM114** · 11-28-2005, 07:52 PM

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!

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.

**Anakonda69** · 11-29-2005, 03:41 PM

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.....

**SmokinRAM114** · 11-29-2005, 05:37 PM

brandon im in the proccess with that guy on racine with that 14 bolt rear. 4:56 gears and locked, my friend talked to him sometime in the summer. i have went to his house several times and no one answers the door!!!and no phone number on nething. i like that military grade rear bumper on that frame he has forsale.. i guess he wasnt messing around. thanks for the durham info ill call there asap.cuz 1300 on ebay isnt my price range when sum have gotten them for 350 from a junk yard

**dr doom** · 11-29-2005, 07:42 PM

whats all involved in changing mine over to a sfa? and ya i knew id have to upgrade my brakes.....thanks for the help guys.....

offroadwizard · 11-29-2005, 08:15 PM

Go to www.offroadunlimited.com like flairty said (a.k.a. bluez114) They will tell you the kit and everything that you need

**Anakonda69** · 11-30-2005, 04:55 PM

yeah my brother wanted those but didn';t have the money....they are some sweet ass axles though....hope u can get'em

**BOSS LX** · 12-13-2005, 08:42 PM

You guys could save time and money and just buy a Ford with a staight axle and leaf springs from the factory.

Nice truck...

see what fun would that be? i test drove a few fords and the road like lumber wagons.... im very happy with the truck i bought! thanks!

offroadwizard · 12-29-2005, 10:50 PM

**** 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!?!?!?!
