Guys im not going to do it myself.I dont have the time or resources.I understand yall think they are BS and thats fine.I just want to know if these kits hold up with a lot of hwy traveling and is there any common problems a man could have with a truck lifted like this.....I can get the truck for $43,000 out the door.
BJ's, tierods, wheel bearings, check for the right gear ratio, u-joints. All of these are wearable parts on any truck but running oversized tires like on these trucks will accelerate wear to an extent. Although mainly hwy miles will be a little more forgiving, but maybe not on these shitty LA roads IMO

ball joints, tie rods, wheel, bearings, brakes, bushings, sway bar links, squeaks, rattles, transmission issues, poor gas mileage
plus keep in mind that not every shop is going to want to work on it, some service shops cringe when lifted trucks pull in
and since you've never owned a lifted truck before, I can imagine that jumping up into one will get old real quick
tires are gonna be super expensive when they wear out too

If you drive mostly highway, definitely regear.
I drove it yesterday and was getting 14.8 mpg. The Toyota Tundra im driving now only gets 12mpg so i know all about bad gas mileage trust me.Hook a 6x12 utility trailer to it with a 4 wheeler on it and your talking 8.9mpg all day long.
What gears do i need??...Thanks!!

what trans is in it? what tires are on it? what motor?
this is gonna be hilarious, spend $43k on a $30k truck, then pay dealer to install $1k worth of extras for $4k
lol
