Smile Lifts????

Thinking about a lift for my 6.0 psd (4-6" running 35's). Any suggestions on companies and set-ups? The freeways out in Southern California really bounce these trucks around (long bed crew cab). I am looking for a smooth ride, don't really tow anything over 10k. Thanks for the info

I'm in the same spot as you are right now. I'm looking to do a 4" lift with 35s. As far as handling and comfort Donahue Racing seems to have the best set ups. What year is your truck?

Truck is an 05. I have heard good things as well about Danahue. Do you know of a spring company that will custum make a soft rear pack instead of just adding blocks?

Yeah, the DR stuff is very nice.

You can run the 4.5" DR with the 5" DR rear springs and no block and it will improve the ride.....and be slightly taller in the rear.
