Do it

A true zone kit will come with everything you need, so no worries. Set the Bils at 2.1 if you have the rear 5" lift

What would be the difference in a 5" rear lift and a 3" lift? Would one be more stiffer than the other? Or does it "level" it out?

Levels it out better. I believe our trucks come factory with 3" rake, so if you go up 6" in front and 3" in back, you should be dead level. Now if you go with Bils @ 2.1 or 2.8 I would go with a 5" spring as it would sit pretty close to level.

I'm waiting on my new wheel setup. I went with the TIS 544BM in a 22x12 with 37x13.50r22 Fury RT Tires.

These are a hybrid tire between AT and MT so I get the benefits of each.

Any clue on how many MPG's I will lose? I know I drive a truck and I put a lift in it, I just don't want to be getting like 5 MPG's lol.

I do a ton of city driving and my average according to the truck is around 11 MPG. I'm not sure if that's properly calibrated with my tuner or not to fix the speedometer.

Truck has the LSD and is also geared @ 3.92 if that helps at all.

Any ideas? or is anyone else running a similar setup and know what they are getting for mileage?

What do you think of this setup as it has me confused!

The guy says he went with the BDS kit with rear 5" coils and the front Fox coil overs but didn't change the front coils and it was 1" higher in the front after the install.

He's running 325/60/20 but looks quite a bit lower than you guys running the Bils and the 5" coils.

I'm basically trying to get this stance with my truck!

Hey buddy I see that you’ve posted the same question in multiple locations and if you want to lift your truck and have questions or concerns create a thread in the lifted section titled want to lift but need help. Then write what you have done already and where you are from (local guys may have shops they recommend) We can help you select a quality lift for your truck. Hope this helps
