    No real goal in mind. Eventually I’ll go to 37” tires but I need a Re-gear 1st. I just want it to be high off the ground.

    Ok, so in order to go higher on suspension lift only, you need extended control arms. There are companies that make them, but I doubt they will give you the lift you want. You are limited by IFS. If you want to go sky high, a front solid axle will be your best bet, or a higher body lift.

    Your front suspension is independent instead of solid. Places make longer UCA's and LCA's for more lift. Costly

    Man I might as well just buy a full size truck at this point. The cost of modifications and changes is exceeding the cost of a solid full size if you continue to go higher in lift and tires.


    That being said your truck looks good and I’m sure is fun as hell to drive!

    it’s fun I can go though a lot of water when it floods. It floods here a whole hell of alot.

    like a cow pissing on a flat rock.
