Lifting truck 6"
 

I am finally going to take the FINAL plunge and buy a 6" lift. I am looking for the best bang for my buck lift. I found one @ roughcountry.com for $1399.99. I would like to know what is the best deal out there. I would like to get back to the full suspension travel of stock with the added bonus of 6". My 35x12.5 R17 need some room to roam. :cheesy smile:

All I have is a 3" leveling kit and my 35's seem to be able to travel all the way up and down... but if you are getting rid of that 3" lift I know a truck that could use one... :smiley_roll1: :hehe:
I did go looking around for a lift kit and for a 6" that seems like a really good price. I was once offered a lift kit and new 35" tires with rims for something like $5-6000, but those were procomp everything so they werent cheap. take $2000-2500 for the tires and rims out and thats still about $3500 for the lift kit with install. I would check sites like jcwhitney and the more common parts and performance parts web sites to make sure. but rough country are a better known brand so you probably have a good deal there... but like always dont take my word on it :)

I actually have head lights/tail lights and my 3" ready lift / 2.5" leveling kit for sale if anyone out there needs them. :)

are the headlights the projectors that you have on your truck in the photos or are they the originals? I'm guessing probably the originals but thought I'd ask anyway

Joe

how much would you sell the lift kit for? Not that I can afford it, I am just interested :)

$300 for the leveling and Ready Lift.$150 for headlights and $75 for tail lights.

dang dude! dont tempt me like that! I got my 3" level for $200... and I already have headlights and taillights... haha

Put it this way ticopowell, once my 6" lift is installed, if you pay for the shipping, I will give you my Ready Lift. That will lift your truck even more and is capatable to be used with your leveling kit. And for anyone else out there that needs a leveling kit, I will be glad to give you the leveling kit minus the cost of shipping it to you. I just want to be nice and help others out that are appreciative. I know that others have helped me out in the past. As for the head lights and tail lights, if anyone has wrecked thier truck and has an '04-'08 they will fit your truck. Hope this helps out. :howdy:

Ill take it! :D, and no worries about shipping, I will go pick it up sometime(spring break end of march probably) since I will be driving to Utah then anyways! I usually take I80, but I70 is literally the same distance, if not a little shorter, I just get better mileage using 80 because I dont have to cross the 10,000 foot high passes :D:woot: :happy-dancing:

hmmm leveling kit :)

HAHAHAHA ROFL HAHAHAHA :hehe::smiley_roll1::notallthere::rofl::really-lmao:

Awesome, as soon as I get my 6" lift installed I will hit you up. And I am sure you can find Grand Junction. So you can count on it being yours. bulbs16, I will be glad to give th e leveling kit to you once I have my lift. I will hit you up the same and we will work out the details as far as you recieving it. :cool:

Thanks! that is awesome! If you were closer I would offer to help install the new kit! :), so anything else you can tell me about the lift? how hard is it to install? is it blocks in the back and something different in the front? and it will work with my procomp 3" leveling kit, and you are in colorado so I assume that it will work with my 4x4 truck... :), just thoughts :D, and you are awesome!

I have a pro comp leveling kit. The Ready Lift is just a 3" part the goes onto of your coilover spring. It is not too hard to do if you know what to do. My truck already had a 3" block on the back that is why the regular leveling kit was not good enough. My truck still was'nt level. :cursin: I am quite sure that comes off with the new lift. So you can have it as well. And of course my truck is a 4X4! LOL. :fyi: You may want a professional to do it because of the spring but if I remember correctly, my mechanic did'nt have to touch the spring??? I will ask... He is really good, way fair cost, and fast. Probably could put it on your truck super quick for you while you were here. Just a thought.

Yeah we actually have a place here that costs me $3 an hour to do any work I want, plus there are usually 3-4 mechanics on duty to help out if I get stuck. but yeah if its too complicated then I will go have a shop in town do it. :), i prefer the cheaper way first, which im sure you understand lol...
so you basically have 2 leveling kits installed with a set of 3" blocks in the back?
I have the 3" procomp, and it went right on top of the shock/spring, and I put it on myself, and no the spring wasnt touched, but with that it is at the limit of fitting in the space that was there for the shock itself, so if the other part only fits on top of that, plus the rear spacers, I dont think that I will be able to use it... :/ but if I misunderstood then awesome!

Not sure. But I have both installed and they work great. maybe you have a different leveling kit. My leveling kit cost $229 @ Big O Tires. and the Ready Lift was almost $400.

When you're ready to sell....please start a thread in the classifieds.....
