Cheapest lift?

Sex&Trucks · May 1, 2012

Hello I was just wondering what would be the cheapest way to lift my truck just a couple of inches and still look good with stock tires? any help would be awesome.

I am in the same boat as you right now and this is what I have found.

RC 3.5" lift kit is junk and most if not all that put it on end up replacing ball joints and other suspension products.

RC 2" leveling kit safe for suspension and easy to install.

If you want to get a good lift to your truck for minimal expense so far I have read that doing a 2" RC leveling kit with a 2"-3" body lift kit is going to be the cheapest way to go about it. Otherwise you have to save up and get a good lift kit which is around $1000.00

A leveling kit of your choice would be best, UNLESS you want to lift the front more than 2". Anything over 2" will require correction of angles, that will force you to buy a complete lift kit with relocation brackets.

Any 2-2.5" leveling kit will do.

would this be a good one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/110838094368?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_890wt_1165 ?? and will i have to do anything else other than an alignment?

Can't see the link becaus I am at work..............I am assuming it's a leveling kit. Go with a known brand kit. Should not have to do anything but front end alignment after the install.

It will work just fine.

Ditto. Thats how I went and it looks fair with the stock tires. I am going to upgrade to 35 though.
