Default Question about lift

Hello, i have a 1995 1500 short cab short bed 2x4, i know lifting a 2x4 is pointless just for looks, my friend has a 3.5 inch or 4 inch front lift booster and rear 2 inch Shackle kit, he says i will be able to just put this on my truck and clear 35x12.50x16 easy is this true will i need anything else before i buy this stuff from him, he is asking 200 for all of it is this a good deal? thanks for all of your input in adance. the truck currently has 31x10.50x16 the look super small lol

I put a 2" level on a 2wd with a 3" body and it cleared 35's ok. You're gonna rub with 3.5". That much lift on a 2wd I hope your getting new control arms or you're going to eat balljoints.

Torsion bars? Doesn't yours have coil springs up front?

Check Top Gunz Customs.

First off, what is the lift spacer coming off of, because I dont think anyone makes one that large for a 2wd truck, your definantely gonna need new upper control arms(fabtech, doetsch, springtech all make upper control arms).

Personally I dont think its a good deal at all, your better of buying a kit already together as it will cost you less in the end
