hey im trying to decide on what my first mod is going to be. i know i want a lift. but i really dont want to spend a fortune on a 6" susp. lift. i would lovvvvve to keep it under 1000$.

so if anyone has anny pics of just a 3" body lift installed in a 99 flareside
please post so i could see how noticable it might be. in order to help me decide. also how much the cost and how much to install, because i cannot do it myself.

also if u have just a 6" suspension lift on my truck post that as well...

but not the two lifts combined i need to see the separate!

THANKS!

 

check craigslist you can probly get a suspension lift for under a grand and then install yourself. there are tons of 3" and 6" lifted 97-03's just do a search

 

that sounds great! i would love to buy a suspension lift for under a grand, although im nervous that the kit would be bad, and that this is my first truck and i have no idea how to do that myself

 

you usually can find new kits for sale on there, i wouldn't buy a used kit unless you got it for a few hundred bucks.

can also be patient and watch ebay for a good deal. if your trucks 4wd you can crank your torsion bars and level the truck out for now and fit some 33's on there

 

can that only be done on 4wd? cuz that sounds like a nice way to save some bucks

 

ya, 2wd's dont have torsion bars.

 

heres a 3" Body Lift for you...



JK thats a SAS picture of my current setup

but heres my truck 99 reg cab straight bed

 

hmmmm im likeing the way that looks. you do have a bumper guard which makes the whole truck look way better. and that bottom pic is only a 3" body lift?

what size tires?

 

the brush gaurd had to be customized slightly but it still works and looks ok.

the top picture is on 40's

the bottom picture is on 36's but 35's fits much better.

 

was your truck this low before the body lift

 

my truck just really needs a lift haha, bad, it hurts just lookin at it

 

Mines 2wd, but it sits the same height a 4wd with a 6" kit sits..35" baja claws and 16x10 pro comp rims..

Here ya go...




Hope that helps..

 

is your truck a 2wd? If so then no it wasnt that low.

 

yes it is 2wd. and ok. that makes sense now that 4x4's always seem to have more ground clearence to begin with, why is that?

 

i would do the 7.5 fabtech lift, just like everybody has said, you will want to go bigger eventually, minus well do it right the first time
