Hey lt1yj , how bout some info on your 1 ton, like what kind of lift, how much lift, and how much did it cost? New springs for the rear or did you use blocks?

I bought this 4 weeks ago with the lift already installed, so I don't know cost on the components.

Superlift 5.5" lift. There is a 2" lift block in the rear. Pro Comp traction bars, 35" Pro Comp Xterrains with a 2.5" spacer between the rear duals. It's currently running 4:10 gears but I just purchased 4:56's to get the engine RPM back up.

I love the truck. Very simple, easy to fix if anything goes wrong (typically very cheap as well--Big block Chev parts are not tough to find, nor terribly expensive) if it just had a little more room (ext. cab or crew) I'd never think of getting rid of it.

Thanks for the comments!

Don't mean to be a downer, but I would Highly advise against lifting a tow vehicle if you tow another vehicle.

Well on a SFA GM 3/4 or 1 ton. A EZ ride 2.5" lift with some load range E 33" tires on a 10" width worked for me fine. The lift was just enough to keep the truck off the bump stops on big bumps/ railroad tracks etc. And the extra width of the wide rims was almost as good as having duals. Did this to a '77 K20 I had and it worked as well with a cab over camper as the '85 ford 2x dually that replaced it after a drunk took the Chevy out on 101.

It's 21" drop..had it built by a local machine shop. It bucks a little over bumps but not much worse then it did when it had 38's and used a 14" drop

That's funny lookin, but don't get me wrong. It just looks like the trailer belongs with a lowered show car. Have you ever thought about doing a spring over on the trailer or maybe some lifted springs? If you did, you could go to a 16" trailer tire and the extra lift would get the toungue a little closer to the truck hitch.

I don't know how to bring my picture from another thread, but check out my van in the thread "4wd van for tow rig?" I think it is one of the sweeter tow vehicles around!

RudeZuk! I saw you in that rig pullin that Zuki headin' west on I-80 a couple weeks ago, should have figured you would be on this board. Nice rigs! both of them! I like the longarm on the Ram, it's custom right? Same tires, too, huh? so you have 4 spares waiting at the tow rig? NICE.

Not RudeZuk...but they aren't the same tires...40" bogs on the Ram:cool:...and 37x13 bogs on the zuk:D .

It'll still tow pretty well, I'd assume. Probably pass anything but a gas station, won't it? You didn't get the $6K surcharge for the diesel (I'm trying to make you feel better about your truck....:rolleyes: ....)
