Just finished with the install. I had a Cognito 4'' ntbd with HD tierods, idler pivot with welded gusset and pitman idler arm supports, Non Torsion Drop Bar and a 2.5'' rear block with billstiens all around.
Thanks to Nick at NORCALTRUCK for making this possible.

See pics in Garage.

What would the 2G be spent on, your truck info looks like you have everything....? :)

everything but the 4" kit. i'm at 2" with the torsion bars cranked.

basically i'd need the 4-6" kit(minus ptman/idler braces), 3" blocks, new shocks and an alignment.

Oh and I shouldn't forget some amp research running boards for the kids and wife who complain already :eek:

Tookes ,that looks great. How does she feel going down the highway?


So was it you or "ride ak2" that was doing some work on a house across the street from a guy that has been talking to me about the same lift package you guys are running? He said he was totally floored that you had that lift on your truck and to see it out where you guys live.

It pulls the big beast like a dream the handling is so much better that stock, which we need up here will all the rutty roads. Btw, GM's 3/4 ton trucks are the only one rated to pull this 5th wheel, all others have to be 1-1.5 ton. :-)

Oh yeah that was "ride ak2", I thought that was pretty interesting as well.
