I have a 98 flareside that i want to get a suspension lift installed, anyone have any picture so i can see what it would look like? What brands are good and bad? Also what size lift / tires you have on it.

 

Fabtech and RCD are probably the best two lifts for our trucks.

 

Here is a pic of mine, it has the Fabtech 6" Suspension Lift + 3" body lift, 36/13.50/R16 Super Swamper Irok Radials on Pacer 16 X 10 wheels, Do you have any pics of your truck?

 

Thanks for the pictures and info here my truck. I am at college right now i only have one pic with me. How do i post it? I am new to the site.

 

here is a pic of my truck. it has a 6" RCD lift and a 3" body lift with 35" nitto mud grapplers with 17X10 ion wheels

 

here is mine...1997 4x4. it has the 6" fabtech suspension with torsion bars cranked a little to come out to about 7.5" or so of lift. i have 7" of lift in the back and it looks a little lower...but anyways, i have 38" tires. my tires rub a little...only on turning and hitting a big bump (like a curb or something) they never rub on regular driving. i will be getting a body lift soon so i can clear them all the time.

 

Pics were taken with my cell phone and are not the best quality, but here's my rig.

 

Here's mine:

 

Thanks to evey one for your replys! What do you guys think about body lifts. I was talking to one of my friends and he said they were dangerous. What do you guys think?

 

My truck has a body lift and it's fine. Honestly, if they made a 9"+ suspension lift that was reliable for 97 - 03 trucks, I'd consider that over the setup I've got now. I spent next to nothing on lifting my truck the way it is now, so I can't complain.

 

body lifts are perfectly safe. the only thing i would not trust them for is jumping your truck. the only real safety issue is that you cannot tow with your rear bumper (it is no longer mounted directly to your frame)

 

adding a body lift to your truck, can be just as safe as stock, as long as it is done correctly. It is also a cheap way to gain that added height for larger tires and get that stance you are looking for. ok, now for the good stuff... the pics!!!

here is my truck, right after we installed the 3" body lift on it. it also has a 6" fabtec lift too. the truck is sitting on 35" tires



ok, next here is my truck sitting on 38.5" tires with the same lift. a 6+3 setup. the tires rubbed at first with this set up, but i cranked the torsion bars up, and no more tire rub!!!!



you would prob be safe running 35' tires with just a 6" inch suspension lift, or 33" tires with a 3" body lift and have little to no tire rubbing. im sure someone will have the setup you are looking for on here!!! good luck!!!

 

where there is a will... there is a way... lets just hope the way has a large bank account!!!! check this site out

Here's mine. Only a 4" Rancho lift with 33" tires but you get the idea.

 

body lifts are great! ive had 2 of them. one on my old truck and one on my current truck.

i ran 35's with some 17X10 wheels when i had my body lift, all youhave to do is trim the valence a little
