Superlift suspensions

Does anyone have the 5/6 inch kit? Likes or dislikes

6" lift here. I like it. Rides nice. Way better then stock. I did blocks in the back to keep the tow ratings. After 50,000+ miles my shocks are starting to take a beating. I've had custom sway bar links made because I bent the ones that come with the kit while off roading. Been through 1 pitnam arm joint. Need another now. Front end is starting to sag a bit, maybe 1/2". Overall 7 out of 10.

driver, what size tires are you running? I was looking into a Lorenz kit, but I just got back fron thr Indy jamboree and now I want to run a bigger tire. I was thinking about a 37x13. 5x22

I've got the 6 inch kit running 37x14. 50R18 Kumho KL78s. I think they make set for 22s I highly reccomend this tire they run really smooth, grip nice offroad, have a high load rating (3400lbs) and not to mention cheap (193 a tire at tirerack.com) The kit runs real nice but I would get the bilsteins the superlift shocks were a bit stiff for my tastes. Either way she runs awesome very little body roll around a turn flexs real nice off road too.

35X12. 5X17



I didn't want to go bigger. I drive/tow a bunch in the middle of nowhere and with a blow out I can still put my spare on to get me where I need to be. Look in my gallery. I think it looks fine. Some people don't like it. I personally don't like the lift with 37". Just me. We all have our own tastes.

I will say this having driven with both 35s and 37s on the lift if you have the 3. 73 gear I don't suggest getting the 37s I have em and I'll tell you with the 35s I could do 80 with my 4000# boat 6th gear no problems nice and cool. With the 37s I tried to do 80 and it was 800 degrees post turbo foot nearly on the floor. The other issue is I used to get 20-24 at 55mph empty on the 35s now the best I can manage is 17-18 at 55mph so take that for what it's worth personnally I'm gonna go to a 36 or 35 on the next set of tires. So I would think hard about the size but as i said before I do reccomend the kumho kl78

I have the 6" Superlift and a 3" body lift. I'm running 38" toyos on a 10" wide rim. No rubbing at all, rides better than stock.

dodge tech what kind of mileage do you get?

 

[LWorthington]

kore just came out with their new technical series which is a full 5. 5 inches and is all spring, has alot of travel, clears 37's and has all the good fox shocks. You can see it on one of Bank's trucks.

Mileage is not a concern with me. According to my overhead display, it is 17. 1 mpg. If it is accurate or not, I really don't care-at least it looks good!

 

[Davey]

Isn't the Kore $6-7000?

 

[KVoigt]

dodge tech I agree, but since I am only getting 13-14 I was just wondering how bad it could get

Is that with speedo correction?

What is a lot of travel equate to on a measuring tape?

Dodge Tech I usually don't go for the "Bling-Bling" look, but your truck rocks! :--) Nice & clean.

Ok, but has your speedo been corrected since you put the bigger tires on? That will affect mileage in a BAD way, since it will show that you've gone less miles than you really have...
