5.5" SuperLift Setup with questions

[Chew_12]

Ok so I finally got enough money and I purchased a 5.5" SuperLift From Derrick. Here So here is what I need ( I think):

Extended Brake Lines($100?)
Drop Pitman Arm($55) - Will any Drop Pitman Arm work or do i have to get a SL one?
Longer Shocks?($150) - Probably SuperLIft or Rancho(rancho is more expensive)
SOA Brackets($25, bought)
Front Sway Bar Extensions($30?)
Tires and Rims
Anything else?????

I am planning to get cheap tires because I dont have a lot of money, probably used ones to get the truck to look right. If I get a 33/12.5/15 tire will they fit on my stock rims or do I have to get at least 15 x 8 rims?? I am actually wanting 15 x 10 rims because I like the wider look. Will the 2 extra inches limit me a lot when turning?

Also I have to get longer shocks I cannot use stock lenght correct?

If anybody has any of these for Sale let me know, I am trying to keep this as cheap as possible. Please feel free to give comments or suggestions.
Thanks!!!!!!

Yes you can use the stock rims with a 33x12.5" tire, allthough that is the widest that I would go on a stock rim. And you will need longer shocks.

I used the superlift drop pitman arm. They have one thats for 4-6 inch's. Also you can use stock lenght shocks in the back just not the front.

Stock rims and 33 12.50's isnt a good plan if you go wheeling at all. seperating beads sucks

Thanks for the info so far guys! What is the width of the stock rim?

 

[audiodude332001]

O yeah, you can use stock length shocks in the back cant you. You might want longer ones though, depending on how much travel you are looking for.

And around how much is a Alignment after a lift?

 

[Chew_12]

Im am a little confused on the shocks. Do I have to get specialized shocks because I need longer shocks? Or are like the ranchos and other brands already longer than the stock ones?

Don't bother with the superlift front shocks. They are garbage... Along with the rear ones. I love my Rancho RS9000's. With the way the superlift handles they are almost a must.
