Default Lift Kits...

so I was looking into doing a small lift on my chevy like 3 to 4 inch but I havent been able to find anything that size everyone just makes 6" and up. so I was thinking doing a leveling kit up front and maybe add a leaf or new rear springs. I cant stand my 4x4 having smaller tires than my 2wd dodge.

RCD is a 4-6" I have had 2 of them and they are great but they widen the front width.

My CST though rides better then the RCD which was better then stock. Just don't go cranking the t-bars you will hate the ride.

the only thing I have noticed is that most of the companies make one kit for all 8 lugs 3/4 and 1ton and I really dont want to loose the 1ton part of the truck ya know.

the good kits are rated to tow up to at least 12k lbs.... so you don't have to worry about that...and they go on the safe side by quite a bit for liability purposes, so if they say 12k, you can probably do 15k with no worries

those two inch keys arent really worth it, you can crank up the stock keys to get the same affect, and when it comes times to sled pull or drag race the keys will actually work against you.

im fitting 35's at stock height with some "minor" trimming with h2 wheels
