Thanks guys. So nobody really runs with stiffer springs hey. Guess ill start off with blocks in the rear.
As far as install i could do it myself I suppose. Dont really work on trucks but i work on heavy duty equipment all day. Sure I can figure it out.
About the tires. I meant Trail Grappler the a/ts look to simple for me. Need aggressive tire lol. As far as the m/ts i hear the grappler should work for me.

Thanks for the help. I just gotta research where im going to buy all this. Had 1 shop quote me 1700 cdn for 4x toyos m/t. 3300 with some 20inch fuel vapor rims

I got my wheels and tires from Big O Tires in Poco, some of the best prices I found and can't beat their customer service. I've got toyo m/t's no complaints from them yet. I was looking online and the Toyo R/T's look like a decent tire probably be my next set

i financed a set of bigfoot m/t's from them back in '95.paid for 1 tire every month.good guys to deal with. i got my 2500 leveled at carrier spring out in abby.they use tuftruck springs.i'm really happy with the work they did,and they didn't try to **** me on labor.as for tires?it's the lower mainland.you know it rains,so it's either an agressive mudder if you plan to do ANY off roading around here or wet weather a/t if you're a ****. nitto,hankook dynapro,toyo m/t. i haven't done an a/t tire for years so,can help you there.if it's a concern for you about ice,stay away from an m/t. edit: you can get a tire shop to sipe an m/t tire for you. maybe northshore offroad .it isn't as good as a dedicated a/t but it's way better than an m/t without them.the down side is if you go hardcore offroad in rocky terrain,you may chunk them a little.

I had procomp x tremes awhile back. 35's and actually performed faurly well on ice. Im a good driver though i know limits. But i had bfg a/ts b4 and found that there honestly aint much difference in the 2 on ice. Its just the hwys in winter i worry about. Not that it snows anymore out here. I think my best bet would to many get an m/t that is studdable. Then if i need to go up country or whatever i wont have to worry too much. Maby, get a set of str8 winters on my stalkers. But there a chrome wheel and will probly get ruined that way.

So tires ive been really thinking about.
Cooper stt
Falken wildpeak m/t
Toyo m/t
Nitto trails

And thinking i dont like the 20 inch rim look. Will probly go with 18's on the 35s. I Like the bigger tire look

Smaller than a 20" will definitely save you money and perform better. In my case, it was about a $700 difference in 17s with 35s up to the 20s with 35s.

My recommendation remains Cooper STT.

2 ga. over stock diesel springs front ,bilsteins all around and the rears are leafs,but i have supersprings in the rear preloaded , i gained 4 inches in the front .you can go m/t and invest in some tire chains or technically tire cables,if you're worried about snow on the coq.my nitto trails work good in the snow,but icy/snow covered hills,not so much.

Awesome 4 inch in front hey nice. I was actually really considering the 4 inch super lift but is just a tad out of my budget.
So Im going to get bils, and springs in rear im pretty sure. I like the look and think these trucks ride too soft. So if I get springs all around what am I going to all need. Don't think I need leafs in the back. But should I start to really worry about my suspension components if I do this.
Ahhh Researching this stuff is driving me crazy. Maby iLL keep it simple and just go with bils in front/back and springs in back.
Decided on cooper stt pros or toyos. Was talking to my tire guy in mission and he says stay from terras. Don't even bother he said so many customers of his hate them.
Question are rear bils adjustable as well? If not why the hell not right? It would make sense

 

[15_RaM]

Oh yeah im not really into body lifts but im really thinking about adding a maby a 1 inch body lift along with the bils, springs, and 35's. Think that will give me the look im looking for

 

[ricky2010hemi]

This is the look of my truck with 1.25" body lift, bils set at 2.8" and 35x12.5's

Nice looking ride!

 

[AustinB]

You should listen to your tire guy. He seems intelligent and not trying to sell you a trend. I like him.

**** huys need some help again. Got my tires and rims figured out!

Unfortunately been calling around all day trying to find a lift kit. Due to me being in canada my options are limited. I had a shop tell me that rough country, bds, pro comp, act. Have basically all the same components and going for the cheaper(rough country) aint bad idea. So he says.
And ive been mentioning super lift to a few shops and half of them said they never heard of it. Getting some crazy, rediculously high prices. One shop quoted bds kit 4 inch for roughly 2800..and guaranteed 600 labour...Might just go that route

Looked into ordering superlift online and they charge $400 for shipping and the conversion rate makes it roughly $600 more...give or take alittle.

Had a budget of 7500 and my tires/rims came out to be 3700. Seems high but 400 cheaper than any other tire shop from where im from...

This is getting scary pricey.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do, i was hoping to find a deal online for canadians but not much luck there lol.

Seems like you have plenty left over for the lift.

Where abouts in Canada are you? First place I'd contact is North Shore Offroad. They have shops in North Van and Langley, BC. I think they ship Canada wide but I'm not 100% sure. The next place I'd look into is Sorat Wheel and Tire in North Van. They do ship Canada wide for sure.

Regarding the lift brand, stay away from Rough Country. Their components are definitely not on par with Superlift, Zone or BDS. The three of those are very comparable component wise; most of them are exactly the same. The difference will be in the finish of some parts, optional accessories, and warranties. BDS would be at the top of the list, Zone and Superlift are essentially tied for second.

 

[15_RaM]

Thanks. I went with super lift 4inch with the bilsteins. Talked to north shore there prices were to high. Big country customs in abby are the guys! Lift and wheels will be here in roughly 2-3 weeks. Cant wait.
