New to the Titan and have some suspension questions

[justrich]

hi everybody im new to the titan forum and i just bought a 04 king cab 4x4 le titan. right off the back i want to lift it because i cant stand the way it looks like its diving in the front. im not concerned about how high the lift is all i care about is performance and handling and being able to still load my dirtbike in the back. my previous car was a track model 350z so this is very different so please forgive my lack of knowledge. it seems like fabtech procomp and prg are my only choices i want to know which willl be best for desert handling (specificaly mojave - california city) and have a good highway ride and not be too tall to load a dirtbike in the back. i would also like to know what size tires i can fit without rubbing i would like to do 35x12's. also since its an 04 should i replace the brakes with some aftermarket since titan is plagued with brake problems.
thank you everybody in advanced for any help or info at all.

I got a 6" Fabtech lift with the Radflo's front and rear, Deaver spring pack and 3" lift block and now i'm running 37x13.50x17. I had to remove the rear mud flaps and modify the lower front inner fender well to stop the rubbing. If you run the 35's it should be no problem. I had no issues prior to the 37's. Looks like i might have to do a body lift now that i got 37's on or the glass fenders. Give Greg @PRG Products a call. Very good work and prices.

yeah give greg at prg a call. he did my lift and i think it handles better then when it was stock...

Pics and mods in sig. All items are available from PRG. Not sure how high you want to go but you sound kinda like I did. I wanted to raise the front and have an excellt ride for when I go riding. Also had to stay under about 6'7" for parking garage at work. This is what I ended up with. I am currently shopping for tires and from what I have gathered 35X12.5-18s are do-able on the stock wheels with mud flaps removed. Guess Ill find out.

ok ive decided to with the prg performance package i was wondering if anyone had a recomendation on tire size that goes best with this set up. i live in the desert and this truck will go offroad so if anyone has a tire recomendation please post. im going to do everything all at once is there anything else i should do to this truck while im at it?
thanks everybody for all your help.

35" tires on 17 or 18" rims is your best bet if you plan on doing serious offroading. i personally have 20s on 35" tires, but i don't do any off-roading (yet)

[justrich]

sorry forgot to mention the wheels are stock 18's

just an update. i talked to greg today at prg and im getting the prg performance kit and shackles installed on sunday i will post pics when its done. all that i need to do now is get tires.
thanks everyone for all your help.
