Long travel rear.

[6.2]

Yeah yeah, I could probably search for this, but I tried, nothing but useless crap came up. (Thanks to tapatalk, it's search feature sucks)

Anyways, will be doing either the giant 64" kit, or building my own kit using Chevy 64" springs.

Truck is an 06 fx4 level II.
Now, how much lift/low will I get with either option. I have cranked bars, and will be doing a body lift and 33" tires come spring. Then during summer I'll do the 64" swap.

What I want is to crank the bars back down to stock level, and have the rear lower than stock to make it level. I'll still have room for 33's and room to articulate due to the body lift.

So, will a 64" kit lower the rear or raise it is basically what I'm asking. And, do I go with giants kit, or piece together my own from used parts.

Also, what shocks do you recommend? Fox? King? Bilstiens?

for shocks, go measure how much travel you get and go from that, if you are going for a prerunner then bedcage it etc get travel numbers.

oh lol

i have an iphone so i just scroll in lol

but you can do the hanger flip and youll go back to stop probably unless you rearch them, also if you do it and use the regular shackle itll go to about 2-3 in lift you can also use the stock leafsprings and use a chevy lowering shackle if you have any questions you can just ask oh for the lowering shackles you can buy them at autozone for about 50 bucks

If you crank your bars and do a body lift, do junk yard 64s. No use putting the giant 64 kit to waste.
