Performance Accessories' 5.5" body lift kit?
 
I have seen the 3"Performance Accessories' body lift installed but not the 5.5".Says it will raise your vehicle between 5" to 6".Would this be a good idea?

It's a 3'' body lift with a leveling kit.

They started doing leveling kit maybe 1 year ago.

Take a look at my album. That's what i was running on my old truck.

Well almost. I had a 3'' body lift, 2.5 leveling kit and add a leaf with 315/70R17 (34.6'').

It may be 600$ but don't forget about installation cost. A body lift cost quite alot to install. You'll be look at almost 800$ in installation + the 600$ for parts.

At that cost, i would be looking at a 6'' suspension lift and install it myself.

basically stock ride, very little to go wrong with it.......

For the same amount of money you can get a cheap suspension lift....and all the headaches that go with it.

money tight and i was jus lookin at how i could get the best out of my money. by late December ill have about $3000 but cant make up mind if i should go with leveling kit & 20"wheels/33"tires or 6" lift & stock wheels/35" tires. when i saw this kit for around $600 i was jus wondering if it was worth it

This way you can run the 35"s for the least amount of money AND still get a good ride.

Problem with the "cheap" kits is that they are not complete (they don't include brake lines or drive lines). This is a good way to go if you are on a budget and want a really good ride.

They are not hard to put on, just time-consuming. Are you doing it yourself?

As far as I know there is only one company that packages the body lift, leveling kit and gap guards together. Performance Accessories.

Edit: just noted that you have an '06. The fitment chart says max tire size 33". I'd call the tech line to find out.

If all you want to do is run 35s then install a leveling kit. That is all you need...

That's not all that I am lookin for. I would like a 6"lift for the lift not the tire size. It is jus money is tight and was chckin out the options.
