Does anyone know who makes a true lift UNDER 6 "? I wouldn't be able to get my truck in the garage with a 6" so I want to go a little lower. I DON'T want the skyjacker lift as that lift keeps the axle/CV joints at a severe angle and I don't want to replace them just as the warranty runs out.

 

rancho has a 4 inch lift i kno.. im getting a fabtech 6in and was debating over the rancho 4

 

skyjacker makes a 3" lift for the 04 -06 trucks. or you could just get a 3" bodylift. it would be cheaper.

 

Rancho has the 4" lift, but Ive heard it actually lifts the truck something like 5.5"...

After that you dont have many options, but you can get a 3" body lift and level the truck out, which would probably look pretty good.

 

Checked out the skyjacker but all that is basically a fancy leveling kit, it keeps the severe angles on the axle and CV joints, I don't want to replace those anytime in the next few years. I have a leveling kit now but want to get rid of it because of the angles. I know its gonna bite me in the butt some day. I've talk to several suspension people in the last 2 weeks and eveyone of them said the leveling kits with eventually come back to haunt us.
Rancho makes a kit (4") that comes with complete with new control arm etc, just hate to spend the $1500.

I've heard from some guys that body lifts are a HUGE PITA!

 

They can be a PITA on older trucks if the bolts are rusted and corroded badly, but on an '05 I would not think you would have to worry about that too much.

 

I agree.
