Sup guys/gals, quick question im new to the whole suspension deal on my truck. But i got a quick and easy question(s) i want to raise my truck about 4 inches maybe, any good sites with good brands that dont kill my wallet out there ? My truck isnt used off road alot. if anything plays in mud whenever it rains wich is rare down here in laredo..another question with the 4in susepension lift the back is still going ride higher then the front right ? can i still add a leveling kit to the suspension lift ? to even it out ?

 

i found this

i think im going to go with the 2 inch. just make the truck look a little beefy. that way i dont pull a muscle trying to get in or out of it lol..

to that setup. i can add the leveling kit right ? so i can get rid of the rake

 

That is a leveling kit, so no, you can't add another leveling kit to it. Personally, I think that is a little more money than you need to spend for a leveling kit and an aal. Plus, the new rear shocks are not needed.

 

That is going to depend on what kit you get. I believe most kits tend to level the truck. Thats just something you may have to check into before you decide on a kit.
There is a 3" lift/level kit on ebay for like 170, and that raises the rear some also. Might wanna look into that just to save some cash.

 

Lifts don't level the truck. They just lift it however big it is. These trucks will still have a factory rake unless you either level the front or take the stock 2inch block out from the rear. My skyjacker lift didn't level out the truck so therefor I got a leveling kit to fix that problem and also added more room to clear bigger tires. But if you want to go small you can go 4inches but I'd recommend to go 6inches. Just a litle bit more but will look a lot better. But if your truly set on only 4inches I'd look into rancho or rcd I think both those make 4inch lifts for our trucks. For 6inches you can look at fabtech, procomp, bds, and skyjacker. All of them are good.

 

To also answer your question about putting a leveling kit with a suspension lift, it can be done. Just puts a little more stress on cv angles, uca's, lca's, tie rods, etc

 

i was readng on one of the 4 inch lifts, not sure if it was rancho or tuff country. it said that facotry wheels wouldnt work with it cause of backspace i believe.

 

Say i do go 6 in. is there any related mods that will need to be purchased to make it run better ? but im iffy about 6. yall dont think itll look funny a 6 inch. with only 33.3's ?

 

When it comes to wheels and backspacing I'm lost. Haven't read much about that. I'm pretty darn sure there is guys on here that are running 6inch lifts with factory wheels but I could be wrong idk. 33s will prob look a little small but shouldn't be too bad. Only when you start getting into like 35s you will feel power loss. Quick ways to help with that are programmer,cold air intake, exhaust

 

yea, i still have lots to learn on this stuff. but its something i want to look into. i'll prolly stop by this week to one of our 4x4 shops thats pretty known for the work they do on trucks jeeps etc. yea the tire size is what freaks me out. once i go 35's im going to have to look into gears,programmers etc. but we'll see im not trying to rush into anything i have to equal out my money for my truck and mustang, i gotta ge her running to. Having hobbies like these arnt cheap lol especially on 2 vehicles

 

Yeah i hear yah but you dont need to re gear with 35s. Programmer, exhaust, cold air intake will help out a lot with the power loss. You dont need to re gear till you are running atleast 37s

 

I belive most lifts do level the truck! Most lift the front more than the rear, therefore leveling it.

 

I am running 8 inches of lift with factory wheels and its fine..it looks ghey but its fine. I am looking for a cheap set of 35's locally so I have some meat for the winter. I ain't ruining my new blingers even though they have brand new Toyo MT 37's on them...eff that

 

When you buy lifts all of them come with something lift the rear as well besides the Rize im pretty sure. Therefor when you add or stack the blocks like they want you too do it causes the front/rear to be lifted the same amount thus causing a leveling kit up front to level it out. Now if you really want to have the truck leveled you will need to lift the front 2inches higher than the rear. Now doing that it will either be a leveling kit or taking out the stock 2inch block in the rear.

 

I like your style man. You make me laugh.

To answer the lift question: Rancho makes a 4 inch lift that will level the truck. It actually adds 4" of lift to the front and 2.5" of lift in the rear causing the truck to sit level or close to it. The rear may sit just 1/2" or so higher than the front. You can read about them here:
