Do you own a set of paddle tires?
Which do you want, performance suspension, or 9" of street lookn' bling? Make up your mind...

It was confusing, you mentioned performance AND 9 inches of lift....
PRG Products has a 4" Performance Kit that "kicks butt" and he's coming out with a mid travel kit very soon, either way stay away from the word "lift' and people will understand when when you use the word performance...

Re: lookn for advice

what lou's trying to say duke, is that with 9", you'd get a good looking set-up perhaps but the high COG will not be all that performance enhancing in the desert and dunes.......

but if it's 9 your after, you could go with the CST kit with extended SAWs in front and a set in the back w/a full leaf pack (small block perhaps if you want 7)............there's a pretty good thread that went on for a few pages about best set up for the desert, you ought to check it out.....

THen why would you want a 9 inch disco lift? They are totally opposite.

That is a good setup. SAWs for the front.

TO take it to the next level add some airbumps and 2.5s on the rear.

Don't take this the wrong way but I don't think if you're going out to the "dunes" your going to be kicking @ss with a 2x4. Without a 4x4 your most likely going to get stuck in the soft sand and need some ones help to pull you out.

kartman is suggesting a great set-up though!
