I might be wrong but i think the biggest we can run here are 44"
I'm in Alberta.
Its $2000 for the lift.
Then prolly need $5000 for tires and rims.

i am just guessing on the price for the tires and rims but tha lift kit looks pretty good it is all springs.
Big arcs, no blocks.
Comes with four shocks
Brake line extensions
Drop pitman arm
Carrier bearing drop kit

Just for information....you need to do a crossover steering on that big of a lift. If you do not you will have severe bumpsteer. Look into Donahoe Racing. They have excellent kits if not the best!

This is a great kit and done correctly....IMO :http://www.iconvehicledynamics.com/s...ension-Systems


Be careful what you get for 2k with that big of a lift....if not done correctly you might have a big problem later on...good luck

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that donahoe racing is now Icon. Icon lifts are awesome. I know a guy with a 12.5 icon lift that loves his and he runs 40's

Yes you are correct....my mistake. I included a link for him. It is twice the price but IMO well worth the money to do a bulletproof build. DR used to use Deaver springs which I have, they are great springs. I believe they now went to National spring which is also a great custom spring used.
