98 k1500 build questions

[hawkeyez71]

rough country for sure then, you can crank the front or keep the aal out I believe

Do the RCX 6" set the front at 6 and the rear just put in the AAL and get a smaller block to reduce axle wrap then sell the bigger block youll clear 35's easy

With your small budget you might just look at 2" rear blocks & TB cranking, you can easily fit 33's like this. Spend most your money on good tires. Unless tires were not in your budget & that was just a lift budget. The 6" RCX lift will allow you to fit 35's easily but once you start the install you might run into other costs. What's the current condition of your front end parts, ball joints & what not? If those are in need of replacement your most likely closer to $2000 once you factor in the lift & all the misc. replacement parts up front, especially if your not doing the wrenching yourself.

Go with a 6" kit, keep the lift around 5".. don't crank until the cows come home. That'll keep your front end ride smooth and keep you from eating through the parts.

Or keep it at 4. Look at how sweet bluexs angles are

Sorry guys i shouldve gave more details.. anyway yes i plan on a budget of around 1000 to 1500 just for the lift itself. While i have the front end torn apart i do plan to replace every thing from tie rod ends to ball joints. All MOG parts. That will be a budget itself since im counting in for regearing to 4.56's and get a 14 bolt rear with a locker. Which one wpuld you recommend? I was think eaton myself. Its going to be a project build since im going to college now. I think im sold on the rcx lift. For tires im looking at 315/75r16 cooper discovery stt's. Or if the cash allows id much rather get a set of toyo open country m/t's. Good tire choice? How many miles could i get with the coopers?

Sounds like a good plan.so.far man the coopers are a great tire and wear pretty well we have those on 2 of our trucks but they havent worn.out.yet so idk about lifespan quite yet
