well i want to put a 4" lift on my truck and i was wondering what lift and what shocks i should go with? my truck is a 05 cc sb. i was wondering if any one had pics of their truck with a 4" lift and wat you used front and back to lift it and also the wheels and tires you have.

Cognito, Sway-a-way torsion bars, deaver rear springs, and Bilstein shocks. My wheels are KMC Hoss in black. They are 18x9. All the specs are in the garage along with pics.

If you go with deaver rear springs instead of blocks is there any benefits? do deavers last as long as oem, do they sag more then oem undr load, do they make a notable difference in ride? if any body cares to chime in, just a few things I was wondering, sorry the thread jack..Josh

04hd todd - would love to see more pics of your truck, including your lund hood scoops and more angles of the lift. Also wondering what size your tires measure out to - they look bigger than a 33? Thanks - nice looking truck.

How do you like the Sway-a-way tbars?

See my garage

I have a TUFF COUNTRY 4" lift with 3" blocks in the back, I have the TC shocks that go with the lift, and of cource the 35" tires. I handle TC lifts and the spacers needed for the front wheels for the hummer rims.

Wooter nice truck... how do you like the hight for towing the 5th wheel?

Tony Burkhard and stocker how do you like the H2's they look sweet and i know they are cheap:)

im thinking for cost i may go with the rancho lift... what exactly is all invalved in lifting these trucks the 4" in... i have been reading a lot and have a good idea of what i need to do but if some one could post a list it would be very helpfull. thanks for all the responses guys. all your trucks look awsome!!!

keep em comin, im getting some good ideas(maybe not such a good thing tho lol, good bye$$$$$$$$$$$$$)

I have used my truck for pulling 5th wheel trailers grossing out at rated GVW and with no trouble. If you plan on truck pulling I really recomend the TC lift, I have excellant tie rod and cv shaft angles, better than stock for pulling. The H2 wheels just need a small spacer (about .5") in the front unless you do offroading than you will need more spacer.

hey Tony were did you get your lift at? what did you use in the rear along with the blocks, just the shocks? very nice looking truck! were are you located?

Depending on what you what to use as of upgrades, 2 kits that are vary popular are the Cognito 4" and the Tuff Country 4". Both kits are about the same in pricing but the Cognito comes with steering braces.

They are both spindle lifts that are the newer style that helps offset the larger tire diameter. You will add 3/8"-1/2" wider stance to either side on one of these kits.

I see a few people on this post runnin 4in and 35s. and Ive seen it on here before. To my knowlege you need 6in for 35s. Are you that say 4 meaning 4 cranked to 6? have you done tons of trimming?

I bought my truck with a Rancho 4'' lift and 35's, they fit fine...with minor trimming.

no problems at all towing gooseneck with the lift no matter what the load size is. I also sled pull with my truck through out the summer. when I bought my lift and cognito braces it was still cheaper than the cognito. look up jackit.com. As far as what it involeves i think you can download a set of instructions from tuff countrys website. look them over and see if your up to the task.

by the way the center picture i posted is with the torsion bars cranked all the way. i normally only have a few turns on them pics of cv angles are in my garage.

35" fit fine with very little trim work, just to the plastic under the bumper. and stock adjustment on bars.

hey Tony were did you get your lift at? what did you use in the rear along with the blocks, just the shocks? very nice looking truck! were are you located? I am a TC dealer, i use just the 3" blocks and a set of my custom traction bars, and of course the TC shocks for the lift.

tony you have a website or anything i can look at or even a phone number so i can talk to you in person... o yeah and i just remembered seeing your truck in the mag, i love your truck ;) may have some questions about your programing too if you dont mind :)

You can call just about anytime 989-550-1288

Does the 4" Tuff Country require frame cutting, as the Cognito?a little.

i am selling my quad and when i get it sold i will call you Tony!!! i will probebly order from you, well depending how your prices compare:D..

you guys with the 3" blocks ever run into any problems with them? ive heard you really dont want to go any taller than a 2" block on the d-max's. i may be interested in a set of traction bars from you too Tony..

I would strongly recomend traction bars with any blocks.
