Default Cheapest way to lift truck
To start off i have a 1997 1500 4x4. I've been wantin to lift my truck for quite sometime. What is the cheapest and safest way to do this? I'd like to get about 3 inches. Idc about fittin 35's on there either. Just a safe and cheap way to lift my truck up (preferablly w/o stacking blocks in the rear, i wanna add a leaf.) Thanks for any input

you can do this... buy a set of daystar ( or similar style) 3" "leveling" kit coil spacers and buy the tough country 3" AAL, and youll get your 3"s for about 200 bucks shipped at most...

would have to worry about wiring and the length of the steering.

Nope, neither will be effected. But, new shocks should be installed with 3" of lift.

Or you could make some shock extenders.
