Does anyone have pictures of a 2500HD with a 4" lift and 305 or 315 tires? I am trying to decide what I want to do but need to see pictures. Thanks

Check out this site. Many different ideas.

Here's a 3" front 2" rear lift. I'll take some pics of the way it sits now (3" front/3" rear) and update you soon. It cost me all of $300, including the installation of the green keys, a wheel alignment, a 2" block/shackles setup on the rear, and installation of wheels and tires. The wheels are 17x8.5" H2 wheels and 315/70R17 BFG ATK K/O H2 tires.

Camstyn how about some pictures of your CV angles? Truck looks nice the way it sits but I have a feeling your CVs are at god aweful angles.

Thanks for photos.

Sure here are the CV angles, tell me how they look in your opinion..

For comparison purposes ...here's mine with 4" Rancho lift.

Here's a couple pics I just snapped. With the wheels/tires it's 5" taller than stock, without tires 3" taller. Green keys in the front and blocks/u-bolts and air bags on the back.

CVs are at a pretty good angle but if you haven't had any problems more power to you. Does anyone know if the outer tie-rod mount on the steering knuckle is tapered? Reason I bring this up is it might be a good idea Camstyn to try and flip the tie-rod right side(see Tophog's photo) up to improve the steering geometry. Edited by: y2kboti

Yeah I've got 10k miles on the truck since I lifted it and haven't had any hints of problems yet. I ran at 55MPH on the highway in 4wd for about ten miles in the deep snow and didn't tear anything up, either.


Good point about the tie-rod mount, it hadn't occurred to me. If it can be flipped I'll do it.

Tie-rod is tapered, Nothing a kit like the following couldn't handle, comes with 3 sleeves and a reamer, might be something to look into. CV's in his pics are kinda steep, I've seen worse, but I personally would be concerned with the tie-rod angles.

8.1, just the thing I was looking for. I posted earlier my setup like Cam's likes to wander under power in 4x4. We're getting pounded today so I'll get a better feel. I'm wondering if the CV's are binding a bit. I'd like to try lowering the bars and taking a test spin but sliding under a snowy truck doesn't turn me on. It could also be since I haven't had an alignment the toe is to straight allowing it to wander.


Other than that 7000 trouble free miles.

Mine drove fine in 4wd in the snow, I had the Juice on level 4 and it steered great up to ~55mph. The only time it would wander under power is if the snow was deeper on one side. Let us know what you find out.. I bet it's the alignment, and by lowering the t-bars you're going to see some improvement due to the alignment getting closer to spec as the front end drops.Edited by: Camstyn
