i know there are some companies are out there that make great riding kits, but im not really worried about ride. and i would like to spend as little as possible. i have a 2005 and i used a 2'' leveling spacer and an 8'' fabtech lift kit. it worked great and i was just wondring if i could do the same with an 08. i am currently dealing with another org member on buying his

thanks guys

You can do the same that is what i did on my last truck not the best riding kit but it works

Not the best pics but you get the idea. 8" Fabtech kit with 2.5" top gun customs spacer on 39.5 iroks.

ok sweet yea like i said i have that on my 2005 and it doesnt ride good. but i cant see spending 5k on a lift alone just for a little smother ride. i did buy a solid axle 4wd lol. by the way your truck is sick man.

You can stretch 8" lifts to 10" lifts....but that is the max height that you can take the stock steering.
Also, it is very critical to have your caster properly set to avoid death wobble issues.

Let me know if you have any questions.
