so im thinking about maybe lifting my 2wd just so it sits closer to a 4x4 height. i was searching around and thought that getting some lift springs in the front and a shackle in the back would probably be what im looking for. i dont plan on offroading seriously, just want a taller ride height.

my question is would this be pretty easy to do? should i worry about anything or is there anything else i would need?


Lift Springs

Shackles

 

its easy. just not always cheap. once you do one thing you just keep it going with out even noticing

 

if u us the 2.5 springs u'll need new upper a-arms and if u get the 3" springs u'll need the a-arms and shocks. pepboys has shackles like that for 40 bucks btw.

 

i would personally go with a body lift. with those lift springs youre going to ruin the stock alignment of your truck and run through ball joints like no other not to mention tires

 

have you looked at the spindle lift kits? those look decent to install and wouldnt mess much up and you could do it for 400 bucks.

so the springs probably arent the best idea then? im not gonna be offroading and getting stuck and going crazy. just mainly into the looks of the truck being higher. i dont want to get too complicated because me and my friend will being installing anything i get

 

go with body lift then

 

body lift is your best bet. its easy. i have coil spring spacers with my body lift and a block in the rear. i have about 5 inches of lift total probably, maybe a little more. spacers are $40 btw

 

If he got 3" spacers, would'nt he have to do the exact same things as if he were to get 3" lift coils though?

 

body lift--- 100 bucks

 

yes

 

well if i went and just got an alignment once i install them would i still run through tires and ball joints fast? isnt that corrected by an alignment?

 

Where?, because I’m trying to find one and I only find a 149 summit one

 

Joaquin --

...a few weeks ago, the $149 Summit lift kit was on sale for $107. It went up to $149 the day after I bought mine...

 

Really?, any chance that go back to be on sale?

 

I don't work for Summit... couldn't tell ya...

 

hey guys i had a quicik question on this too i just bought 3 inch lift springs and the guy i bought them from said i would just need to get some new shocks do i really need a new upper arm? or can i just run the stock one

 

bringing up the question again still looking for help anybody got anything?

 

Do both. Spindles in the front and body lift. 35s and you will be good to go.

 

^^ dont forget a regear lol
