Dawg2500HD 02-19-2008, 07:22 PM I really wanna lift my D-MAX! I have all the mods in my sig, but I want to lift it! I don't really pull alot. I'll pull a boat a few times in the summer, but that's about it. It's mainly for show. My question is, will my truck be ok with about a 6" lift and 35's without changing the gears? I've heard it's really expensive to change gears.:eek: Thanks! Jeremy CCDC 02-19-2008, 07:27 PM Lifting my truck thursday with a Cognito 7-9" lift and putting 22.5 wheels and 255/70/22.5 tires (36.7" tall) and I'm running 3.73 gear and expect no problems from all my research.. Now they are not wide like 12.50's or 14.50's so that may play into it some. MAX4X4 02-19-2008, 07:29 PM I pull a boat with mine and love it!! You don't need to regear with 35's.....use tow/haul and IF you want you could leave it in 5th in manual mode...... I like my Cognito! For me it was between Tuff Country & Cognito. I liked that I could get a true 7" with no cranking on the torsion bars on the Cognito. I thought about RCD a bunch and thought about Fabtech for about 1 day. Do TONS of reading on here to make the choice that YOU want. Dawg2500HD 02-19-2008, 07:34 PM Wow! That's releaving! I didn't want to have to regear. If you don't mind me asking, MAX4X4, how much did your Cognito 7" kit cost you? Jeremy got-h2o 02-19-2008, 07:37 PM I'm running 35's and don't notice a difference at all. CCDC 02-19-2008, 07:47 PM MAX4X4, how much did your Cognito 7" kit cost you? Jeremy Not Max4x4 ,but I just got my coginto from Norcal Nick and added options like, Tie rods, deaver rear springs shocks and brake lines. Norcal nick's web site is very informative and has pricing for all of the above. Best lift out there for a 7-9" lift with minimal frame cutting and NO cutting to the front diff. Nor cal nick can be located in the vendor section on the top of the page. MAX4X4 02-20-2008, 01:03 AM Get an IDEA of pricing from his web site, then call him up and get a package deal price, tell him I told you to call:D;):thumb: Where are you located? Reineke 02-20-2008, 06:06 AM I pull a toy hauler and a horse trailer with mine, and I didn't regear. If I had the cash laying around, I would probably notice a change... But the truck has no problem pulling right now... Dawg2500HD 02-20-2008, 09:11 AM I'm way out in Georgia! Near Atlanta. jdugie123 02-20-2008, 09:31 AM when i had 35"s i didn't regear and i didn't notice any real power lose and i was able to pull my trailer with hay just as easy as when i only had 285's so with 35"s its not really worth it and ya i would do alot of research if you have the money then the cognito is one of the best if not the best but if you a working with a little less budget the RCD is a really great lift i haven't had a single problem with it CCDC 02-20-2008, 02:20 PM dawg2500HD, I live south of you (tallahassee, FL.) and I ordered my Lift from Nor-cal Nick..takes about 5-7 days to get it from them to you. I thought that was pretty darn good. Nick shipped it UPS freight.. MAX4X4 02-20-2008, 05:59 PM CCDC, Make sure you post pics of your truck after the lift. I want to see that dually lifted:D CCDC 02-20-2008, 06:50 PM I will! I just got done checking over my lift shippment Nor-Cal Trucks to Me via UPS and all is there. The boxes are even square..Unbelievable.. Nick and his crew did a great job of packing for the long haul. Thanks nick!! No Thursday morning the build begins..YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO | ||
