Lifting truck 6"

hampsterzone · #1 Mon, January 31st, 2011, 10:56 PM

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.

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...

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

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.

Ill take it!

, 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
