Hello all,

 

I am a new HD CC owner. :D I've been looking through this forum, and seems to be a great place to learn about GM'S.

 

I am looking to lift mine 6" and put 35 mud terrains on it. Who's got the best looking/ (safe) lift out there????

 

I like the Rancho red, maybe the Fabtech blue? My HD is summit white....

 

Help me out guys...thanks

Hi and welcome!!

 

The most popular are the Rancho and Superlifts i think.

 

I have a ProComp and others have Fabtechs and RCD's

 

IMO, if you want flat CV shafts and 6" go for ProComp or Superlift.

 

If you want what is arguably the best lift, go with CST, but better have some cash :D

What did the lift kit do to everyones milage?

 

SB

Dont know about the lift alone, but lift with larger tires and gears has me down to about 13.5 mpg w/80% highway use.

Hey,

    We just picked up our 02' crew 2500HD on 07/03 from the truck shop and had an 8" fabtech lift installed on 37" all terrain T/A's and are quit happy with it. it rides really nice even with dual shocks up front. I can't speak for other lifts because I haven't ridin in them or looked real close but I know Fabtech has a good rep.:lookaround:

My vote is for CST (California Super Trucks) although it is a bit pricey, about $3000, you can get it powder coated to match your truck.  

 

If you are looking to do it yourself, very straightforward and all the bolt holes line up where they are supposed to, a little bit of cutting and a small plate needs to be welded in ( a wire feed is fine) and it is as close to a "drop in" kit as any.  For the price you also get a new front drive shaft to go with your new suspension geometry.

I went with the Fabtech 6" kit with 315/75-16 BFG all terrains.  I don't like the colored up kits, so my kit was special ordered in black.  I've been extremely happy with the looks & the ride quality.  It also has no problem pulling my 26' enclosed car hauler.  I'd buy the Fabtech again in a heartbeat!

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
