I run the standard ones on the burban, they are fine. I will upgrade to bilsteins someday

Bilstein 5100 series or what? I was looking at Ranchos for a Tahoe with a 6" lift, looks like for all 4 it would run just shy of $400. Think the Bilsteins are better than the Ranchos?

Yeah Rough Country is 999 for the 6 inch. 979 for the 4 inch. The NEW and AWESOME vendor on the forum now can get you a 10% discount... so it will be less then 999 for the 6 inch.

sure, that's the base kit. but that doesn't include all the add on stuff he'll probably need.

I like the Bilsteins. I run the 5100 on the tahoe, they are my third set on there.

Yeah but we werent talking about all the addons? Just the lift kit he wanted that was under 1000$?

I see if you have autotrac, you need a new driveshaft then? No way around that? Wonder if the one that RC sells is the best option, or if I'm gonna have to replace it if there is a different one I should go with?

A new shaft is about $450, does your 4wd selector have 4wd full time? if so you need the shaft.

That RCX kit is nice, comes with brake lines and all

^^^i think he means Auto-4wd as a selection of 4wd modes on under your 2wd selector

Yep I've got the push button with the 4 options. After buying just the lift, plus either some Bilstein or Rancho shocks I'm looking at $1400 not including the driveshaft. I know the RCX vendor on the forums here can give you 10% off. I'd probably want the steering stabilizer, as well as the rear sway bar links I take it. It is a 98 2-door. I'm having a local guy install it, but I'm ordering all the parts as I don't think he can get 10% off, and would also have to charge tax. Do I need a pair of rear sway bar links, or just one?

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

dont know about the links but to save your self some oney at the moment you dont "NEED" the steering stab plus i believe you have to fab a bracket i dont remember seeing a SSkit (correct me if im worng ) that just bolts up to our trucks
