Also, Keldermann Air Ride has a kit. It was shown of Spike TV's show "Extreme 4x4" a few weeks ago. They installed it on an 08 crew cab. It was adjustable to like 14" or something. I think they were running 40's.

I saw that extreme 4X4 show too,but I'm only looking for a 4-6" lift so I can put my set of 35's under it.That truck toyz lift looks VERY interesting!!I see that's a custom job though and since I have what we call in MT a "Bigsky garage"(outdoors)not really doable.

lawlessinmt,


I spoke with Donahoe Racing earlier. They are working on all the components for the 08s.

However, if you don't want to wait and wish to purchase a 4.5" DR now, we could fab/modify the sway bar links to make them work for your 08 and have it be a true bolt on deal.

thanks-looking at a webstore for the DR 4.5 listed for the 05+, says it would not work for manual trans.Are there more modifications to make it work with a manual or am I screwed?

For trucks with a manual trans, we have to use Fabtech radius arm drop brackets. The DR brackets won't work with the trans crossmember on the manual trans trucks.


Let me know if you have any questions.
