Re: Lift kits
Dont forget to pack the diffs with a 9.88 gear ratio and titanium super atomic mind-controlled lockers front and rear.  |

you can save money by going with a Canadian diff. The rear differential conversion rate is 0.89, so you can actually go with 8.79 Canadian gears and get the same overall gear ratio, but cheaper.  |

That's GREAT info, but everything from Canada is crooked and missing parts.

Re: Lift kits
What do you mean Canada?!?!? We all know you buy your parts from China, which is in turn shipped to Mexico for assembly and then retailed in the Southern States by Mexican border crossers... Yaahooo!! to job losses and free market economies!!  |

Re: Lift kits
I tell ya some of these guys are really funny.... almost like they are short a few bricks! Back to the original question. I am in the same situation as you.... and after reading many treads I have decided to go with the Fabtech 6" lift with 18x10 rims, 4.5" back space, with -25mm offset and 38x15.5 tires. Also I am adding the Fabtech tie rods and pitman/idler support and the Cognito steering support. You will need these to help when running the larger tires. The only problem with this set-up is if you plan to do some heavy off-road the tires will rub something fierce. Going with a 38x13.5 will eliminate this to some degree but you may still rub on the sway bar a bit a full wheel. Hope this helps.
P.S. thanks to the rest of you.......your a great help  |
