Default Big Lift Kit HELP!!!

I've been looking for a 4-6" lift kit for my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 after looking through Craigslist I found this 10 inch kit which, trust me, seems too high compared to 6. The price is definitely right and the guy claims it can be adjusted down to 6 inches with the torsion bars. He does not know the brand of the kit. Is anyone familIar with this kit? If it can be cranked down to 6 safely I'm interested. Here is a link to the add with pictures. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Do you also have a regular cab? If not then it wouldn't fit. And I would be skeptical with the price that low. How many miles are on the kit. I bought my 6" kit from a member on here with 25,000 miles on it and everything still worked, the shocks are starting to go though so watch out for that. It looks like the kit has seen some abuse too. As for it being adjustable, I'm highly doubtful it is. Sounds like he just wants to make a sale. The most you can adjust the T bars on these trucks is 2", not 4

there's no way you could lose 4" of lift by adjusting the torsion bars

Alright I've got a crew cab so it won't fit? I'm leaning away from it since the biggest tires I would want is 35s and they would look too small

Actually, it might fit. After looking at it closer I thought the crossmember brace bars mounted in a different spot but they don't. But yea 10" with 35s would look terrible. And just imagine trying to get into it?

Very true it looks like a great deal for someone wanting to go that high
