i am trying to find the best type of lift kit to put on my truck.. i have chevy sliverado 1500 crew cab 4.8L Vortec 4x4... i am newb to this portion and dont want to get some cheap stuff.. all i want is 4in to 6in lift.. now that i think about it prolly 6 so its more noticeable.. i want opinions on what type of lift, what brand kit, and what size tires and rims would be best.. i am looking for something that wouldnt be afraid of the mud if i got froggy but this would also be my every day driver so i dont want extremely loud *** tires.. i dont mind some noise as long as i cant hear it over my flowmasters im good... anything else would be greatly appreciated..

 

MMk first of all 6 inch lift not 4 you want it to be tall but not to tall. If i was you in a sharp truck like that 17 inch rims with 35 inch tires. I would go with pro comp all terrain tires good experiences with these good on road and off road and some places around here have buy 3 get one free on procomp tires and better deals with the pro comp rims and tires.I have a BDS6 inch suspension lift and i love it!! with the 35s you are going to want to put 4:56 gears in the front and rear diffs though i think you have 3:73s right now!! Your carrier will hold a 4:56 ring and pinion on it

 

i hear that with the BDS package though you have to cut you frame is that true..

 

No who ytold you that???? I dont know about your truck but on mine you dont. Do you plan on installing this yourself? I would have it done by a professional let me know if you have any other questions

 

No i definitly wouldnt install it myself.. what is a guestimate of what you spent on your lift including the install..?? i am trying to get a ballpark figure so that i can set this money aside for when i get home.. thank

 

Everybody around here likes Highjackers. I'm happy with my factory lift, the wheel-wells, frame and suspension are just peekin' which is perfect for contrast colors.

 

Umm not sure about install? Id say 2000 on the kit plus install plus about 2000 for good 35 inch tires. And prolly 400 for yukon ring and pinion going to be expensive but worth it!!!
