Ever thought about tricking out a truck so that it could go off-road just as easily as it would downtown?

Well we’re going to discuss a couple ideas to help you achieve this.

Spend your money on a good lift. Make it at least 6”. If you go lower than that you may regret it, and wish you had spent more for a higher lift.

You first want to do your research and decide what is the best plan for you, your truck and your money.

Most people want a lift that is going to keep your haft shafts as straight and level as you can possibly have it. You do not want a big angle going into the front difbulator.

A friend of mine has used Fabtech and absolutely loves it. He has had no problems with hubs, or shafts and he drives the truck daily.

If you want to run 35" tires or bigger, be mindful of your transmission. Get a deep pan for more fluid, and an external cooler with a fan. This will keep the transmission temperature down.

Get rid of the clutch fan and go with electric, it will free up a little power and strain against engine, (dual fans).

Your truck should come with a big radiator, if not get a Big Boy. Upgrade your airflow, and change gears (front and back).

Some people run 4:56 gears, but you may not need that.
