He said that since i will only be driving pretty much on the road as a DD, that blocks would be fine.

 

Yah

 

You can try, but good luck finding a shop with the equipment to make an adapter for the tulip style flange on your t-case, and if they do have the equipment it won't be cheaper than the superlift shaft. I know Neapco makes an adapter that you can use on a double cardan style driveshaft, but the adapter is over a hundred bucks by itself.

 

Six States and Driveline Tech near me do good work for cheap, any kind of shaft

 

Well guys, i believe im goin to get the 5" RCD lift with 305/70r16 BFG all terrains or mud terrains. I will be getting it in the middle of may.

 

Why not go with some 315s?

 

I dont wont to have to re gear with 35s and im not paying for the lift, so i cant be real picky. lol

 

You don't have to regear with 35's... I've got 4.10's with open carrier and I have no problem at all :-D...

Who's paying for the lift?!

 

My mom and dad are. I am only 17 so i am getting it for my graduation.

 

Hell yah man! That's awesome!

 

LMAO


HID's PIAA's RCD and couldn't find time/money to put in a locker? That's rough dude.

 

Sweet Jared sounds good. Btw you should come out to the meet at Jordan Lake at the end of May, it should be a blast.

 

I'd like one... But it's seriously another like $1200 cuz I would regear if I put in a locker... Just to put a locker in, in just the rear is no less than $500..

I've only got about $250 in my HIDs, PIAA's came with the truck, and the RCD came out with the loan when I took it out for the truck. I'd love a locker... There's nothing rough about it... That's just how it is.

 

When is the meet. If i have my lift on by then, i may ride out there to meet some of you guys.

 

Its on the Meets,Greets,Events section, I forgot lol

 

I know this may have been covered way back, but to find out what back spacing you want for your wheels, you should calculate what kind of scrub radius you want:

http://www.sae.org/automag/scrubradius/index.htm

a 5 in BS would more than likely give you a negative Scrub Radius, and to get the most out of your truck off road, you are going to want a positive Scrub Radius, otherwise you are going to have serious issues when you try to stop, or turn, ESPECIALLY off road.

 

stock is what 4.5"bs and the rcd require's 4" bs.

I've got the wheels to prove what the rcd kit can do to stock backspaced wheels. they were even aftermarket but still had stock bs.

I'm sure superlift is along the same parameters.

 

3.25" backspace for me any my superlift.
