Thats a nice kit

 

[bigtigga84]

already got front bilsteins. granted the ******** leveling ones but a little changie of the snap rings and they will work. (read another post you made about bilstein's lol)

 

[PerformanceLifts]

The Rancho kit requires a very specific extended length shock absorber in the front. Your Bilstein adjustable spring seat shocks are not compatible with the Rancho kit unless you install a large strut spacer.

You can review the install guide here. http://www.performancelifts.com/installation/rancho/RS6581B.pdf

With or without RS5000 or RS9000XL shocks? What zip code would the kit be shipped to? On a kit this heavy the shipping can make or break the deal.

19966. Well damn that sucks. Ok how much with the shocks

 

[PerformanceLifts]

To give you an accurate price quote I need to know shich shocks you are interested in. RS5000 or RS9000XL? The RS9000XL's are about twice the price of the RS5000's and they are a little heavier which affects the shipping.

[bigtigga84]

Assuming they are better shocks. Hate to be a pain, but how much would it it be for both?

Wow thats cheap for such a great all in one kit . I would recommend the RS5000 shocks
the others are real stiff more for heavy off road use IMO

 

[bigtigga84]

thanks dave, i was gonna ask but pretty sure i was getting on their nerves lol. now i gotta decide if i wanna do gears or the lift first. 4 inch isn't gonna look to odd with my dinky tires till i can get bigger ones.

Nice kit, and great prices. I would go with the 9000XLs, I have 9000s and love them. They are adjustable and on the softest setting are great on the highway, turn a knob and they stiffen up for hauling or improved handling. They have 9 settings, 0-3 are soft (about stock like valving), 4-6 are about the same as the 5000s, and 7-9 are stiff

 

[ramhunter9]

I would do lift first . Lifting will not down grade the OEM gearing at all . Tires will .

Go lift , at that price you would be nuts not to .

 

[bigtigga84]

definitly going too. if anything to get the cv joints back to were they need to be. don't like the angles they are at.

 

[bigtigga84]

anyone have an idea of roughly the hight of the roof with the 4" lift and 34" tires

 

[PerformanceLifts]

Measure the roof as the truck sits now. Do this on an empty fuel tank with no weight in the bed and nobody inside.

Let's assume from level ground to the highest portion of the roof line it's 70" inches tall.

You need to know your existing tire RADIUS. But let's assume the current tire is 32" in diameter and has a radius of 16" inches.

If you install the Rancho 4" lift play it safe and consider it a 5" inch lift. Then take the new tire radius of a 35" diameter tire... that's 17.5" inches. The new tire will make the truck sit 1.5" inches taller than the 32" diameter tire.

So... Old roof height = 70" inches.

New roof height = 70" + 5" + 1.5" = 76.5" inches tall.

These numbers are guesstimates but the method is real. With a few minutes of your time you should be able to calculate within a 1/2" the roof height after you lift the truck and install larger tires.

your the man jeff. measurements im going to apply would be with 33 inch tires. that's the maximum hight i want to go with tires. appreciate all your help today/yesterday (almost 1 am here)

 

[bigtigga84]

**** that would get me really close. trying to make sure it will fit in the garage when i got done-lift and tires. half inch of play. but by the time the rear hits and bumps up, the cab will be past were it would hit if it did.

 

[ramhunter9]

WELL are you getting the lift ???? Will look sweet .

 

[bigtigga84]

I am just gotta wait till the baby mamma gets her taxes back
