I've got probably 1/2 that in mine,with alot of research & shopping around,maybe even less,all brand new.I got the rims /tires for $3,030 mounted,balanced shipped to door,lift for under $600(on sale+rebate ),dual fox ss for $385,fox 2.0's for $415(20% off ) & the alignment etc.

That will never ride anywhere near as well as a Carli kit

Fox shocks came in today,haven't got the proper size wrench to put the fronts on right now,will have to pick some up or go to the shop.I did however get the back ones on which were the ones over extended & needing swapped the most anyway as the fronts have an extension to make up for the lift & the rears do not.
Ok long story short,massive improvement no,big improvement yes,it rides better & looks way better then factory as a whole & i'm really looking forward to getting the fronts on.I will tell ya they just get better & better as the miles roll & they're stiff as chit wasnt easy pushing it into position with one hand while putting the bolt in with the other,so you will be well served to compress them to size & bind with wire or device of your choice.

So with a lot of people telling me to look into the Carli lifts, I am now thinking about the Carli backcountry 4.5 lift with fox 2.0 pin top shocks. If I run 20's wrapped with 37" tires do I need to change any gearing?

In running 3.55 with 37s. To me it's perfect

Carli hands down. The r&d that has gone into their kits along with the torture testing is second to NONE on the market.

You can fit 37s under their 4.5in lift. Why would you want more? Add long travel airbags in the back with their Deaver springs. And you have one SLICK setup..

Honestly,

You get what you pay for.

If you go cheap and don't like it, you'll beat yourself up over it.

If you're going to spend 60+k on a truck, why buy cheap modifications?

I have a pro comp stage 2 (laugh) 6" on mine, comes with their shocks and all, seal in front passenger side blew almost brand new, and the ride is like a wagon. I'll be looking soon into a Carli.

Another vote for Carli. I have their 4.5" pinto sitting in the back of my truck right now going to be installed either this week or next (most likely next week).

I made up my mind I'm going with the Carli backcountry 4.5 lift with fox 2.0 pin top shocks. Now just need to decide what tire and rim setup.

Look in Here!

Carli's Reps are in this thread all over!

OCveloman (DAN) is a wealth of information.

I'm one of the few to have Carli actually do my lift. They made a promo video with my truck, but it would not let me post it here.

Can't say enough good things about Carli and their customer service. Not one kit I've installed has given myself or my customers anything less than total satisfaction.
