sorry to jack your thread but i have a question for you guys. im a noob to the truck world and wuts the diff when people say suspension lift or body lift? can you do one w/ out the other? which one is cheaper?

 

The 6" lift was discontinued last year. I bought one of their last kits. They still have the 3" kit because they sell a lot more 3" kits than they did 6" kits.. It was a steal at just under $700 for the entire kit. (Spindles, springs, add-a-leaf, 3" blocks, and 4 new shocks)

 

a suspension lift is adding longer front shocks and springs, adding leafs (or getting all new leaf Springs) in the rear. this is better for offroading because you can go higher with suspension lifts than body lifts (the biggest body lift ive ever heard of was 4inches and in my opinion it looked bad) and you get more articulation for in tough spots. body lift is just adding spacers or blocks between the body and the frame to make it sit up higher. the most i would do with a body lift would be 2-3 inches due to better looks and you can get too much body roll.

 

hey guys, thanks alot for the replies. I really appreciate it. gives me a lot to think about.

 

Iknow alot of guys with skyjacker and after about 4 months the front starts to sagg soo i wouldnt go that route

 

You might want to look into a Kore suspension system. But it's asuspension lift that is more about performance thanjust
'lift". It will get you about 3" of lift and room for up to 37" tires. If you definitely want 6" of lift this won't be for you. Also, it's not cheap.

 

I had a 6inch fabtech lift intsalled in my 02QC 4*4 1500 and I love it. I have 35*12.50*20 (toyo MT) under it. Love the look. Just need to get new gears put in. i had Les SChawab (tire company) due my lift and I believe it was around 2500 out the door.
