I just added 2" blocks in the rear and will be adding Daystars up front next weekend. This is on top of Skyjacker 3" lift and PA 3" body lift. I'm going to 8" because I hear 14.5" 35or36's will rub on a 96'1500. Here are my questions. I am skimping temporarily on a couple of things in order to save money. 1) I am keeping my front shocks which came with the 3" lift. Skyjacker says to replace the fronts but the rears should be fine (rear has less travel I guess). As I do not really go off road much I am going to try leaving the fronts as is for now. My only concern is that they will not reach after the daystars.
2) Obviously I will not have dual shocks up front. Not expecting two much of a problem there but what do I know.
3) I will also be staying with the lower control arm that came with the 3" kit and leaving the upper arm stock. I am fairly centered right now so I'm thinking I will be OK. 4 new arms would be pretty pricey.
4) The biggie here is my stock gears. I will be going to the Dirt Grip 36x14.5x15 tires. Will I be screwed with these tires and stock gears or will I be able to deal with it for a while untill I can afford new gears?
Once I get the tires on, I will post some pics. I appreciate the advice I have gotten from you guys in the past. Thanx,
