How much have you spent on your supension?

[Raul@Stealth Automotive]

you will def need a pit arm puller... you can rent them from your local autoparts store or you can buy one... they are in the 20.00+ range if you want to buy them....

the ie rod separator thing youll need looks like a big Fork lol.... you may or may not need it.... but they are pretty cheap too..

i installed my 4 in kit my self with the help of a pretty mechanical buddy and my self and one who didnt no alot jsut a guy to grab tools.. first off 4 sure get u 2-3 good jacks and jack stands... good impact its not a bad idea to hti all ur bolts with wd couple days in advance i didnt have any trouble but my stuffs not rusted at all.. good strong impact and a compressor that will keep up... big set of impact sockets... pitman arm puller my was a ***** to get off.. u will most deff want so help to wrestle that front axle around to get it back in place.. i think it would have been a big chore to do it by urself and i would say do it indoors if u can ... big wrenches and swivel sockets or extensions...

i would have prolly liked to go to the 6in kit but i pull goosenecks and had the intentions of pullin a 5th wheel so i went with the 4in it still looks badass to me

Check with Top Gunz Custom, Their out of Tenn. You can find their online store on ebay. Their # is listed so you can call them and speak with a real person. I just ordered shocks from them, with shipping, still cheaper than most. A friend orderred a 6" lift from them months back, cheapest he found. good luck.

Thanks for the information. I am also considering the rough country kit because of the cost and it good to know someone has had good luck with it. Are the shocks decent? And were did you order it from?

Did my 4" with my brother, Don't forget a come-along. I used it to move axle back in place easily. Make sure all the parts r with it, I got a driveshaft shim kit to (xtra) And my center bolts for the rear were to short. U will also need somthing to cut the old center bolt with. and make sure it a kit for a diesel motor truck. this was my second lift kit install.

top gun customz great shipping and everyhthing um as for the shocks i think they are jsut as good as any of the other basic shocks i want to go with nitrogen ones they will get me by till then

Still more questions for those who have experience with lift kits. Will either 4'' or 6" lifts need things not included in the kits such as break line extensions?
