Lifting Checklist
Alrighty tax money came back in and the money I got saved up I think its time that we have this conversation...as of now i am plannin a 3" body lift on 33s 15x10s
But when i saw bills truck lifted i feel in love and and was like thats it im doin it..
so this is hte checklist of everythin that i can think of off the top of my head to get started..
1. 4" Superlift
2. 3" body lift
3. 35s(dunno what kind yet)
4. Wheels (dunno what kind Yet)
5. New Front Driveshaft
6. Extend all lines
7. Upgrade Brakes
8. Chip to turn them big ole tires(plus redo speedo)
9. Gears
I know there are more but those are the only ones that come to the top of my head for now...
but what else am i missing but cant think of that..
but you gotta start somewhere so i thought id jump on the band wagon and start....

What are you going to do about rear lift?? Please say add a leaf and shackle. I would be leary about using the blocks stacked. I know in michigan anything more then a 4 inch single peice block is illegal.
My buckshots didn't last long, 20K miles, could have gone another couple thousand on them, I never did any burnouts or anything with them, kept them rotated. The biggest issue I had with them was not the life span, but after 10K miles or so, I noticed them to be noisy and very luggy feeling, with alot of vibration, but that may be with any mud terrain. I am in love with my BFG A/Ts, I have 15K on them and they still look brand new and the ride and noise is awesome. I won't run mudders again, I like ATs myself but to each his own.
Get a X-Cal tuner, have it programmed to match your tires/gears... You will probably want to regear with the 35s too, otherwise you'll have a terrible mileage gettin' slug...

$8 gap gaurds
and I say you need to drop down to some 15"x12.5" rims, wider is better
