Fabtech and BDS make very nice lifts. Like I said earlier, I have 90K miles on my Fabtech lift with 0 issues. The truck rides as good as stock and is very stable. I actually forget it's even lifted most of the time. A fellow Chevy lifted trucker did recommend to me to swap the stock U-Joints for greasable ones. The stock ones tend to go out at around 40,000 miles. But very cheap to replace.

I've read a lot of good about cognito. Apparently thier stuff is top notch. Check em out

I spoke with someone at Fabtech. Seems to be a great package. They said they're product is not specifically designed for dually trucks. He also said there is no lift company that specifically has a dually option. He does not recommend lifting a dually. He recommends only leveling. That would work for the wheel/tire package I'd like. But, then when I tow the cat I'm lower in the ass than the front which isn't good. As someone mention the option is to get air bags. Seems like a lot of bull**** for little change. I found Keldrman air lifts. Anyone familiar? If my need for a truck was just to look good I wouldn't worry. But I actually need to use it to tow!

Thanks for the input.

For Dodge stuff I really like KORE. Top notch parts, and no, I don't work there. Thuren Fabrication also has some great stuff. Not sure if either have much for '14's, but worth looking in to.

Thank you sr73z. I'll check them out.

Check out Carli also, very good stuff. Their 3" Multi-Rate front spring rides a little better than stock.

I hung out with Kent that owns KORE for a few days at Desert Storm last year. I shot pictures from their race team helo. He is a stand up, honest guy, and manages a successful offroad race team. He knows his stuff.

I would do the lift / leveling and put airbags on the truck.

I would not put a 6 " lift on a truck thats pulling 14,000 lbs or so. Maybe 2 inch. Frankly the big and bad look is stupid IMHO but I am an old fart at 59.....
