Lift kit, would ya?

Looking to upgrade my suspension at some point and am looking at some different options.

Skyjacker Part F840TKS-N - Skyjacker 4 Inch Lift Kit with shocks

I'm running 4.10's now with 235 85 16 stock size tires. If running 36's would 4.56 be a good ratio match if I want to keep the current pulling power matched up?

Thanks

If I wanted a lift I would go with PMF RSK, vcodes and b codes. Better ride and a small lift. Can't beat it. I'm going that direction when I can.

You still have the ttb?

You can certainly do that lift...I would personally be worried


You probably will cause many problems for yourself.the ttb just is not real good.I would suggest as many have a swap to a monobeam axle.then lift away.

I know its done all the time and several are swaping now as we speak.It is for a reason.

At the end of the day its your decision so have fun. If you swapped and did a rsk you will get lift and added ride quality and more capable rig.

do they even sell 4.56 for the ttb.I am not sure?

I hope I dont come off rude,just dont want to see anybody cause their selves a hard time in the end.

Not rude at all, I just don't have a one stop shop to get the swap, rsk, parts, and install done. I'd love to go solid axle but have zero support in South Florida as far as I know of. I looked up new D60's online and omg $$$

Yeah sorry. I didn't notice you have TTB. It really is the best way with the d60.TTB I don't know about.

Yea,Its a big bunch of parts and labor. Its something on my brothers truck hopefully someday we can get taken care of. I would think maybe if you were conservative on tire size and did poly pivot bushings maybe you could enjoy it for a while but keep looking for an affordable 60.
Keep an eye on the pivot drop brackets after instal periodically somebody around here maybe had one crack I think?

Its no good that you are all alone down there in all that sun and nice weather.....
