Default Should I change Lifters?

I think I have decided to go with the Patriot LS6 Stage II Heads and either there 226/226 .585 or a 224/224 .563 by comp cams. I have 94,000 on the engine, Do yall think I should change lifters also. If so what kind and what brand has anyone used and had good results from? Thanks Fellas

I put a new set of stock ones in there whenever I changed mine. Just for the little extra insurance.

I would do it since you will have the heads off. Having that many miles on it.....would suck to have one go on you 2 months down the road. Ya never know.

That's just my thoughts....

I would change them too. Stock or Comp OE replacement 850-16's are good choices. Crane makes a stock replacement too, never used them though.

I have 96k on my 99 and have the comp 850-16s waiting to go in when I do my heads and cam in the next month or so. They are a wear part and are very easy to get to with the heads off, so I figure it will be cheap insurance for the next 96k.
