Default Lifter options

I'm trying to gather the last few parts to get my build going, have everything I need besides head bolts and lifters, my question is what lifters would be best, I've heard ls7 lifters have been having some problems but I don't know another good option, so that's where I'm asking for suggestions. Truck is an 05 rcsb sierra, lm7, full exhaust, milled 243's and custom speced cam.

Thanks - Kyle

If you got the coin I would go with these....
Morel 5290 LS Link Bar Hydraulic Roller Lifters - Brian Tooley Racing
If not LS7 lifters are pretty standard now.

LS7 lifters are the best bang for the buck in my opinion. The "problems" are more myth than anything. There was a batch that had some issues and now it's folk lore that they're all bad.

^^^agreed. I was in the same boat a couple weeks ago with my build. After calling several trusted names and getting their opinions, i went with the LS7 lifters. I mean, think about it... comp is one of if not THE biggest names out there, so there is more comp products being used than other brands, so naturally they will have more failures...
