Cheap and lift do not go well together. Lift it right or don't lift it at all unless you want headaches.

You won't get any cheaper than that, take into account all the things that have to be redone in a lift that big.

i lifted mine myself with parts from topgun customz, less than 800 in all of it. i got 37s and could clear 38s fine

how many inches did u raise it and wat all did u change out. im also gonna put a 3 inch body lift on mine. u at least had to raise it 7 inches to ''clear'' 38's ''fine''. and how many hp u pushin. 450? wonder if i got a add a leaf or two then a 3 inch block that should get me 6 or 7 in the back the a 4 inch lift coil spring and a 5 inch spacer. just to get it up can u email me a pic of ur truck then and now ericblazier18@gmail.com

Lifts are sweet alright, but also a headake... With my minimal research i've noticed that 6" lifts and under seem to be just spindles and misc. parts... With an 8" and bigger you have support brackets and extensions and angle shimms, etc... This sure puts some strain on your stock parts... like with my truck - i will be replacing about $600 in steering parts this weekend due to my lift... I have three "Fabtech" shocks on each front wheel that cost nearly $80/each... Not much, but when you replace six at a time, it adds up...

Like someone else said, either spend the money to do it right or don't do it so big... Mine is costly even after the lift is installed... few hundred bucks here and there since i've owned it... Just something to think about... Good luck! :rocking:

heard that sounds like a pain in the ass i may just do a 6 then a 3 inch body lift thats good enough i reckon. im gettin ready to have alot of horsepower within a couple months so i guess the less the lift the better

I am totally agreeing with you on this one. Along with lifting a vehicle comes never ending problems. It may just be small things here and there, but they add up over time. Bottom line is if you lift something, especially an excessive amount of lift, things go wrong lol
