The body lift is the easiest way to lower the truck some. To do suspension requires new springs and costs money. Id like to see pics so I can see how the lift was done. Sounds like a poser mobile since its lacking the driveshaft. Also theres no way to bleed the lines... Its a sealed system and my guess it theres a leak somewhere or the compressors shot. PICS! :pca1:

heres a couple pics of what he sent me. got a lot of different angles but i think these r the best to show the lift

Not a bad looking truck... Any of the front axle that's the important part

heres what i can find as far as the front axle

If u didnt already i would pass looks like stock rears not good , no driveshaft front rear prob already bad.Or bad transfor case!For that price everything should work!

44" tires and 4.10 gears aare a very bad combination for any transmission. That's a lot of work to move that truck (reason why the Tx was replaced 10k miles ago, I'll bet). I'd also wager that the front and rear axles aren't geared the same. 20" "thug" wheels make me think the PO/seller's intent with this truck was form without the slightest concern for function. I'd offer half if any of the asking price and work from there. He's not trying to sell you the truck, he's trying to sell you what he has invested into the truck. HE wanted a lifted 2wd sittin on 20's, YOU want a dependable TD DD that has an aggressive/capable appearance with matching performance. Make him feel like he NEEDS to sell it, not that you NEED to buy it. Control the sale. With every deal made, someone gets screwed. Don't let it be you.

are u a salesman? cuz that sure as shit sold me. on the edge of my seat by the time i finished reading ur post :tu:

Who, me? I used to be. I secured a 2,800 sq ft condo in hell with a ocean of fire side view while I was a salesman for ADT. I studied psychology and exploited it while talking people out of their money. Actually sold a security system to the wife of a Chief of Police in NC while her husband was at work. I was a bad, bad man back then. Now I'm a medic. Making things right, for really crappy pay. Being a former salesman has taught me a lot about how to buy stuff cheaper too. IF you decide to buy this truck, offer much less like I said, but hand over cash. If he said $7k, offer him $4k in cash. Let him hold it in his hand, feel it, flip though it, etc. It's really really hard to turn down money once it's in your hand. I bought my Crown Vic (since totaled) for $5k, they were asking $8,900. Handed over cash, when they declined it I held my hand open, but not out. I made the seller reach out to give the money back. Psychology took over as that cash got further and further away. Needless to say, I drove away in the car. Control the sale. Avoid the word "need" whenever you are buying something. Example: I 'm trying to find a Dana 60 front for my K5. When I call the yard I say I'm "looking around for an axle for a project." That conveys that I am hunting for the best deal and can wait to find it. If I were to tell them I "need to find an axle" it would sound like I'm trying to get my DD back and on the road so I can get to work. I can go on and on about how to save money making deals like this, but I don't want to hijack your thread.

Well said man!!!!!!!
