    i know this is going to sound bad, but if i go mid travel will i be able to achieve the same look as your truck? like with the height and tires, etc.

    overall height maybe a little shorter...you can fit 35s with cutting... Lots of cutting. Are there any local guys that can guide you and show you their rigs? If look is all your after then drop bracket will be fine. Just hate to see people make the mistake I did by rushing lift decisions without research.

    How much did you end up paying for your Fabtech? i dont know if i can drop almost 3500 for a BDS lift. What would your second recommendation be?

    If I was investing that additionally. I would go IRS first. Could do all the labor myself and source most of the H1 stuff from a junk yard or on post.

    :facepalm:

    The guy asking questions is a beginner, no need to confuse him...haha

    I've got over 4k into my suspension....honestly save up and research/learn about the mechanics of everything. Slap a spacer lift and blocks on it to hold you over if you have to lift it now.

    Do you say that because you're not happy with the drop bracket? I've been considering the RCD 4.5" or BDS 4"

    After my rear bumper comes in I plan on plumbing air line to the front and rear of the truck, as well as include provisions for a regulator to run lockers.
