After Much Thought

[westcoaststrokin]

Well after much thought I have decided what the next mods are going to be for Big Momma. Saying that things go the way I hope in August I might be getting a pay raise. That being said I want to do the big rig conversion to my truck. My question is to lift or not? I think a 4" wouldn't look bad running 22.5's. The wife says otherwise. What do you guys think. Here is a pic of how the truck sits now.





I do intend to get a fiver once the truck gets paid down a little more if that has any bearing on your decision.

I have a 6" lift and I'm gonna go 22.5 when I need new tires. I think a 4" lift would look fine.

Id go with like a 2.5", just enough to set it off some. Gotta keep the wife happy and thats a happy medium as well

looking at that sail it looks like time for a working party from the boat to go paint. I am sure the guys will like that.

So you are saying just level it or do 2.5" all the way around?

Harsh, Petty Officer Harshman. That's just harsh... LMAO!!!

Careful how high you go with a 5er. I think it would look bad azz on 22.5's...

That was what I was scared of how high can you go with a 5er?

All the way around. I constantly pull something with my truck so im not big into the leveling kit unless the rear has an air bag setup to even it all out when pulling. I borrowed an 05 once to pull with with a 4" just like your truck with a lift and a long bed, i could have just been me but it seemed too top heavy and had to much roll in the corners with a load on, also with the GN hitch adjusted as short as it would go there wasnt much clearance between the trailer tounge and the tailgate. Just my 2 cents

Well, you already outrank me for when I was in the service.

As for the 5er, it depends on the trailer. You want an equal amount of space between the bed rails and the coach. Mine is on a leveling kit (2.5" Ikon) and 33's and sits just perfect for my setup. Others sit a bit higher and allow you to go higher. You just don't want your lift to make your coach decision and you sure don't want to flip your axles.
