I can't say how I get high here.

As far as my truck goes....6" Skyjacker. One of the PO's put it on and used blocks so here shortly they will get replaced with springs and maybe some bags to help out with the repo unit.

This is where I got my 6" kit. Some people have complained about the Skyjacker springs sacking out under the weight of the Cummins, but I haven't had any problems. Anything over 4" will require front driveline correction. I've got a high angle cv shaft and still have some pretty good(bad) vibration. Also, with 8" total lift & 38's, I get serious rubbing when crossed up or turning. Fine if on the road, but if 4xing cutout flares are needed.

Hey jer1 have you tried lowering the transfer case? I use to do that on my chevy mudd trucks back in the day.. just make/find 4 1" spacers and put between frame and cross member might help a bit with vibrations ??

im going with alcan 6 inch front springs, 2 inch rear springs, a shackle flip in the rear, dual front and rear shocks, cross over steering with hydraulic assist, new front high angle drive shaft, and for "fender flares" im going to build either 4 or 6 inch flared bed sides and front fenders.
im hopping to have at least the fenders and bed sides done in the next month or two.

im also going to run load bags in the back, because the springs will be set up to flex and carry the weight of the truck and not much else. ill also make front and rear traction bars.
