lifting my 03 dually!

Ordered 6 super swamper LTBs 34x10.5x17, 3&quot; spacers up front and an 11/2&quot; block for the back. Also Westin chrome ovals, molded mud flaps, Rancho adjustable shocks. This puppy's gonna look good!<br><br>Can't wait!

Re:lifting my 03 dually!

Will you rear tires rub each other with that large a tire on the rear....or do you have the single wheel rear tire ??

No they won't, the 10.50 will fit with about 1/4&quot;-1/2&quot; between them. I was gonna order spacers, till I found out from someone who did it. I guess they'll just make it. I don't pull much anyway. It is DRW.

Re:lifting my 03 dually!

Hey, I did the same last week. My tire shop says I might have to wait 4 weeks. He is giving half off the new ones when he takes in my take offs(as long as they have less then 2000 kms). I spent weeks calculating what I could fit in there. I don't plan on lifting the rear at all, but will install spacers in the front soon after.<br><br>jt

Re:lifting my 03 dually!

Jet,<br> Who did you order the spacers from? What are you planning to do for speedometer correction? Will you have to re-align the front end? Be sure and post a report and pictures when its done. It should look Boss ;D ;D ;D (pun intended)<br><br>The Boss Hog SFIF<br><br>(Still Freezing In Florida)

Re:lifting my 03 dually!

-The tires are 8 ply<br>-A shop in Omaha, NE is where I get all my parts, I used to work there.<br>-The spacers are BDS<br>-No alignment, don't really need it with only 3&quot;<br>-No one makes a track bar drop bracket for the 03s yet, when they do I will probably correct that item<br>-jt, that is cool, I'm gonna hang on to my stock tires maybe, don't know yet, anyone interested?<br>-Boss Hog, I'll take pics when it's all done, no I won't fix the speedo error, it will only be off by 4mph approx, doesn't bother me<br>-I am putting in blocks in the back cause I like a little rake to the truck in case I load up the back so it doesn't squat<br>-I've got some before pics, so I'll post both before and after, but you'll need to help me with posting, do I need to use a separate site?

Re:lifting my 03 dually!

I tried to order my Rancho and the part store gave me the same rear shock number<br>and I made them call Rancho to check the numbers. Rancho tech told us they will be<br>3-6 weeks before they get a part for the 03 2500's and 3500's!!! ***!!!! They told<br>us the numbers are wrong in his book and that part number was for the 03 1500's.<br>I wanted stock and you are going 1.5&quot; over ???? Same part number? <br>I was trying to get the deal Get 3 the 4th free $230 to my door from Summit racing.<br>Local was about the same 79.95 + Tax around $250....<br>Any one know the part numbers you are running on the 03's?? 2500 4x4<br>Jon<br>

jet,

just curious, but why lift the dually for 34" tires. is it just for the look?

i have been running 6 35x12.5x17 for several months, and i bought a leveling kit, but did not install it, since it was not needed. i have never rubbed or anything.
i did buy spacers for the rear, but i tow very heavy loads and did not want any rubbing to occur.
