A friend of mine has a '93 or '94 2500 with 6 lug wheels.He pointed this out to me when I got the HD.I figured this was the most likely reason for long stopping distances in bama's review without even considering his track record on representing facts.Maybe someone's been telling stories?My 2500HD stops just fine even with 3000lb in the back. kip

I don't doubt it. The pre '99s also used drum brakes in back. And some of those earlier C/K 2500s are hard to tell apart from the 1500s.

I think I'm in the same area as you and I'm curious which dealer you bought your truck from. contact me directly at jmdmacnexus.org if you could. Thanks

Found some for the 2500HD on the shockwarehouse.com site. Funny thing, when searching the Bilstein site, couldn't find anything related to the 2500HD.

Did you ever find a 3" lift kit?I know Trailmaster makes a 6" lift and with it you can use up to 35" tires.You can go up to 33" without lifting,what size tires do you want? kip

Yes, I'm still looking for a 3" suspension lift. 6" would keep my truck out of the garage, and there are too many hail storms here in the midwest for that. Someone, either Ryan or Oby, had mentioned that there is a 3" body lift for the 2500HD's, but I would rather have a suspension lift. I currently have 285/75/16 Cooper tires (33") on my truck. Cranked the torsion bars about 4 turns and trimmed the front air dam and inner fender wells. Still just a little rubbing when turning all the way to the left on the back side of the driver's side fender well, but not enough to worry about. It would require relocating the emergency brake cable. Posted some pics for Ray T. at picturetrail.com/whatsachevy. 3" should take care of any rubbing and would give a little more ground clearance (although my wife thinks it has too much ground clearance now - although she never seems to mind driving it!).

Rancho is the only option for less than 6" this time for a 02. Their's is 4" and I don't understand why the other reputable lift kit mfg. guys have not responded to the demand of a lift less than 6". The guy's I know that have the rancho do no like it, to stiff!
