Default Lifted 09?

With the new chassis/suspension I wonder what it will do to aftermarket lift prices??? I will be able to lift my 09/10 if I end up with one, but I hope the costs are not higher than todays lift kits.

Unfortunately for the 1500 they will be WAY more expensive probably, because of the 4-wheel independant suspension. Just look at the difference between a solid axel front truck lift and a 4x4 with indepedant front susp.- unless you go super high-end.

^^^?????? the 08's had the same thing.


it's gonna be more expensive. because you will now be looking at upgrading control arms in the rear due to the new coil spring set up. because if you lift on stock control arms you loose wheelbase. granted it won't be by much but it will be by a bit

Exactly. New springs and shocks for the rear wont be a huge diff in price from today's kit. I bet some 3" kits will even come with spacers for the springs lol.

maybe, probably be a little higher than the stuff for vehicles like jeep wranglers which have a very similiar rear suspension as far as taht goes to an 09. 6" life it like 2500 for these trucks i'm guesing 6" will be about 3-4k
