GMT 800 4" Suspension Lift - Your Opinions

[dirtfan21]

I'm getting the itch for a taller truck again and I'd like to stick to right around four inches and run 33x12.5's. I drive quite a bit of highway miles a year (10-15k) and just can't imaging turning 35's doing that. My question for you guys is what kind of quality do the GMT 800 Rough Country lifts have, specifically this one http://www.roughcoun...wd_99-06_4.html . I already know Rough Country shocks ride pretty rough but as for the quality in general, do you have any experience?

 

I want to stay away from a body lift on the truck because I have the manual 4x4 on the floor and use it quite often out on the farm and in the winter. My other option is to try and get a wicked deal at 4x4 Jamboree in September on a BDS but I know I would still be looking at 1,600 to 1,800 with upgraded shocks. If you have any knowledge on this or know where I can get a cheaper deal please let me know.

RC 5" ($999) lift requires you to use aftermarket 17x9 wheels, which no way would i run (nice) aftermarket wheels in the winter. the salt would chew them up.

 

Zone makes a better 4.5" lift( 1295), and im assuming you would have to run aftermarket wheels with that as well.

 

I have RC 3.5" lift with their 1.25 BL. My 4wd does actuate hard. so far everything is holding up great. been over a year, and 20K+ later
