I really doubt its a body lift. the tow hooks, hitch, and exhaust all seem to be in stock location.
that might be something like a 4" Rancho Kit
but agree'd that we need more pics to know what is going on.
I would say a very nice condition truck would be 7-8 grand with decent miles on it.
i noticed the same with the tow hooks, hitch and exhaust
what exactly is a 4" Rancho Kit?
the mileage i do not remember exactly, but i do know it was up there
Unless someone went crazy with custom fab on the hitch, tow hooks, and stock exhaust its NOT a body lift.
It doesnt look high enough to be a fabtech 6" but could possibly be one of the 4" or 5" RCD
My bet however would be its a "leveling kit" they probably replaced the stock torsion keys with aftermarket ones then cranked those to the max. which would be abotu 2.5"
If this has been done then you will need to "uncrank" them alittle. Or you CV shafts and ball joints will hate you.
Besides what i just mentioned. I wouldnt undo anything. You can get a pretty good look with some 18's or 20's and non aggressive tires. I think you would really enjoy the look.

4.2trimble, if when i see her in person and shes not too high i would definitely go with the wheel/tire option. thing is i dont want the wifey having trouble gettin in and out especially if she needs to drive to work for whatever reason.
Im 5'7 and i dont have too much trouble getting into mine its a 3" lift and 36's
Another option would be to get some step bars. Its not alot of lift by any means.
you could get away with mounting some 33's on there with some nice 18's and it wouldnt look horrible.
Id say if you like the hieght then go with a 35" tire a 18" Wheel. It will only lift it a inch or two more then you can put some stepbars on it to help her get in.
when you get it i want to see some pictures of the front and rear suspension. as well as the crossmember if you dont mind

deal here is, i just bought the truck from online auction, so i haven't received it in person yet. a tow truck will be delivering. an awesome deal (i really mean a steal) i just hope it does not require too much mechanical repair. i just hope i can reverse the lift. would this be a fairly inexpensive and not too time consuming project? i'll keep you all posted.
what size aftermarket wheel and tire do you think would fit properly?
would that be a cheaper alternative? i just dont want to look too off roadish.
how much should a truck like this be worth? (roughly)
ill tell you what i have a o3 supercrew with stock suspension and a body lift we can swap mine for yours if you want if you are close to the orlando area plus im a tech at at a gm dealer so the labor would be free let me know
