Looking mighty fine. I had to make a custom 2" front driveshaft to fit that same lift...but that's because I have the 6.2L gasser. The left side cat was interfering.

Fortune --- Looking GOOD! Definitely a tough looking SD!


So...how do you like the ReadyLIFT? Good quality components? Ride quality? etc.

The jury is still out in my case. It had been problem free for the first 5000miles, but last week my steering developed a popping sound when steering aggressively...yet it stopped doing it yesterday. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from and now I'm really confused since its now gone. It could be something not related to the lift at all.

The lift retained the factory ride (rough). The Rancho RS9000XL took care of that.

Thanks guys!

Only had the lift on for less than 1000 miles. So far I'm happy no issues, no change in the ride that I can tell.

Did you use the 4" shocks and not use the shock extensions provided with the lift kit or did you use the 2.5" shock with or with out the extensions?

without the extensions. The extensions are only there to allow you to utilize your stock shocks. With the 2.5" longer front shocks, you can remove the extensions and throw them in the garbage.

Beautiful Truck! Love the color and the way it sparkles when it's clean!

Black sure is beautiful when it's clean but you have to clean it all the time... small price to pay to look beautiful
