Default lift kit

Hay

This is just a thought. I am trying to find a cheep way to lift my truck. All the lift kits under600.00 are for 1/2 ton trucks! If I had a 1/2 ton and used a snow plow those springs would have more weight then mine do now with the Cummins?!?!? If I am not going to use a plow or anything (just clear tires) can't I use a 1/2 ton lift on my 3/4 Cummins? Why or Why not. thanks

Springs are designed to carry a certain load. !/2 to springs are not designed to carry 3/4 ton load.
