p. s. tried of the truck driving like crap and bouncing allover the road and i really hate driving with two hands on the wheel!! hope doing all this stuff will help that out a bunch plus make it look a little better under there with all that stuff plus some bigger tires! oh ya if ya raise the front up 2 or 2. 5 whatever it is what is the biggest tire u can get under there that will work good? i heard 33's but im not for sure. thanks again!

assuming this is for the 99??

Jackit.com, this is who I purchased most of my parts from. They have been fast and friendly, reasonable prices and shipping has been within a couple days. Also used Summit racing, they also have been good to me. I used SKJ D25 coils, SKJ dual shock kit, SKJ dual stableizer kit, Rancho RS9000x's and RS5000's shocks, DT trac bar and Links, DSS steering brace, Borgeson steering shaft, and energy suspension bushings.

Do not go with the DT shock kit it will not work unless they made major changes. I purchased it and it would not fit, on full lock the lower shock mount would hit the rotors, it also did not come with the proper mounting hardware. The SKJ one works fine, with minor mods which are explained in there directions, and comes with all needed hardware.

On the tire size I run 315/70/17 BFG AT/KO's mounted on 17x9 Centerline dorsals with a 4. 5" BS, which is the max you can get under there with a 2. 5 lift up front. The truck also will sit level. I could not fit my tires on without the longer links they would have rubbed the fender wells way to much and it would not turn. Some others say they have done this but I'm not sure how. I purchased everything around the same time and just wanted to see if the tires would have fit without the links and they would'nt.

You can go to my readers rigs and look at the pictures to give you an idea if that helps you decide. Good luck... ..... Dwayne
