any lift suggestions? I want about 2 to 4 inches of lift, cost effective of course!:tu:

ide have to eye your truck but body lifts are always the cheapest at around $100

DieselCrawler 04-27-2012 05:08 PM

a 2 inch body lift will help with putting the turbo on.


and as for he turbo kit, MANIFOLDS ARE NOT NEEDED! intake or exhaust.

Body lifts are gross, if your Gunna do it save up and spend money on 4" lift kit

X2 on the body lift, makes everything so easy. When i had my 6.9 a minor timing bump really helped out, and a 4k governor spring out of a GM 6.2, factory is ballanced for 4500 and some bus aplications run north of 4k. Also, while pulling, if it gets hot, drop down a gear, the idi's love rpms. It will keep it cooler running tight to the limiter than trying to lug it around.

im really not happy with my banks kit any other substitutes I might be able to use

Get the turbo first along with gauges to make sure you don't melt stuff do a good search for R&D IDI PERFORMANCE. thier injectors and pumps are very high quality and fair price. Get the sticks and the 90cc pump. Then if you have a couple hundred left go to coolingmist.com and get a meth kit. Way cheaper and better than snow performance. Those mods will blow you mind all for around 1200 bucks. Good luck sir

P.S. head studs(ARP) are always a good idea only 200ish more
