Personally, I wouldn't buy a used, lifted, truck. Too many things that could've been installed incorrectly. Plus, you know for a fact that a lifted tryck got abused. Problem is, you don't know how much or to what extent. Buy a un-modded 4X4 n do the lift urself. Just my .02 though. Take it FWIW.

Yeah, I am thinking about doing that. The truck was really nice, but I could just sorta tell it had been used...

I bought my truck with the lift on it. Not everyone buys a lift kit to go offroading. Mine has been a mall crawler since day 1. I dont even think it saw dirt, sand, or rain till i got it at 28k miles in Jan 09. I now have 32k lol

Well, this one had 136k on it. The dealer claimed it was a mall crawler, but i'm not 100% sure. He also said he had to replace a shock in the front. (which concerned me, because he only replaced one...lol)
