@1925, what lift do you suggest then?

Cognito, tough country, RCD, rough country, pro comp (knuckle style lift ONLY), CST or bullet proof.

in that order is my highest to lowest rating of those lifts and what i suggest to go with.

As the others have mentioned, Tuning and lift pump will get you to 500+.
Here would be my list.
1. Built trans.
2. Max effort tuning, lift pump, EGR delete or blocker plate.
3. 6" Tough or Rough Country lift, IMOP the others are overpriced and these 2 are economical and tough as hell. Drop the torsion bars to keep perfectly flat cv angles. 33-35" tires.
4. Start deciding on how far you really want to take this... Built engine, big fuel and Air are going to cost sh*t ton of money over there;)

Absolutely, there's also little to no support over there if something were to happen. I'd keep it simple.

That will save you on alot of shipping :D

for 500 you really dont need alot of what you posted i need to find a dyno for mine when i get back home but ive got whats in my sig and i think im over 5 if not i will be with the parts that are at the house :D:D:D:D


you should look into tie rods and upgraded steering componets BTW

APO address saved my a shit load of while station in Guam. Paid shipping to San Diego they military took care of the rest

awesome. Definitely shopping around on the lift kit. Got a new cp3 on the way. still looking into lift pumps. I may have found a wrecked dmax trans to cover my core charge on the suncoast (still working on that). the cv axles I found that I want, will definitely be a tax time purchase haha 2500 bux for em. Tie rods are going to be a custom build/purchase from a machine shop buddy of mine (stronger metal).

I've been very busy on working the plans for the truck. Also working on a skyline for a deployed buddy of mine.


Got hit by a motorcycle at a car show over the weekend, so Im working dents out of my passenger back door.

No need for stronger cv axles. Just buy a set of sleeves for your factory tierods. Or have your buddy make some.
