    A few audio upgrades, tinted windows, remote start because it f'n hot in Texas! 6in Fabtech DB lift, 17x9 Fuel Trophy wheels, 315/70/17 Duratracs,BAMF 80in sliders w/kickout, Prinsu cab rack w/30in Heretic light bar, custom bedside decals, custom hi-lift jack brackets, US Offroad front bumper w/winch, bed rack with RTT, CB, Short wave base station, Ultra gauge, color matched grille surround, an ungodly amount of recover gear, ARB fridge, hood struts, RotoPax, traction pads.
    Everyone will have there own opinion on what they think you should do and there is a lot of hate on the DB lifts. But I don't regret mine at all. The DB lift will put your suspension back to factory angles like you are wanting, but you will lose some of the front clearance you have. I'd suggest that someone here that has one on 37s gives you a measurement of there's so you can have an estimate of what to expect if you decide to go that way ( @357sig ). It is also much harder to "reverse" a DB lift as you have to cut out your front cross member in the process. It can be re-welded back in if you ever decided you did not like it, it's just more work. I would stay away from the RCD lift as I remember there are some design issues with that lift that do not give you the performance of some of the other brands. You can't go wrong with a BDS lift if they are in your budget and ZONE is their lower end sister company just like Chevy is to GMC. Remeber it is about what YOU want your truck to do for YOU, not anyone else.

    BTW, I can't wait to see a crawl box on a db!

    What's with this minimum wheel size I keep seeing. The Zone lift calls for an 18" wheel. I'm running 16.5s with 3.5" BS as 1/4" spacer

    The backspace is the key is what I found out when was looking at DB lifts. Can go lower aslong as the backspace is correct.

    Think you'd have room to go 1/2" smaller?

    That's what I'm hoping to avoid.

    I'm going to a big meeting next weekend. Hopefully someone with a DB will be there and they'll let me toss my spare on their truck for a minute to see if it'll fit.

    But if you wouldn't mind looking I'd appreciate it

    Minimum size has a lot to do with the manufacturers specs. I am running a FabTech that suggests at least a 17. Their reason is due to clearance of the sway bar. Due to the new location point, if the wheel is turned in too far with a smaller wheel it will rub.

    Yeah that is pretty tight. Not gonna do it unless I find someone with lift installed and put my spare on it as a test fit.

    Good news is my front suspension seems to have leveled out a bit since I installed my new uppers. The CV angles looked better today than they did last weekend
