looking for a little help here guys, any info would be great.

as compared to something like this:

Ummmmm....NO!

 

 

 

Yes, NO to both.

[schlegle1]

both kits are junk?

[Big Whiskey]

both kits are junk?

 

 

Yes, both of those kits are junk. Stay away from anything over 2.5" that isn't a true suspension lift...in which case you might as well put a 6" lift on it, because those kits are about the same price.

 

I'd do something like these options:

 

http://zoneoffroad.c...ct?ki=274&gr=-1 or

Or...if you want a little more height without spending all your flow on a complete suspension lift....

 

http://zoneoffroad.c...ct?ki=148&gr=-1

 

or put this on with the rough country kit from above: http://www.roughcoun...t-kit_rc701.php

 

 

Edit: Any of the first two kits would also look great with a 3" body lift, instead. Either way, body lifts actually look pretty good on the GMT 900 trucks

Just did a zone 3in body lift on my 11 crewcab. Turned out great

Both junk my friend. That 6" whatever is the worst trash I've seen. If money is tight, the leveling kit and body lift is the absolute best option. I ran that combo when my truck was young. It was great.

[schlegle1]

so since i already have a leveling kit on my truck you think i should just get a 1.5" Zone body lift and with it? Will the two combined give me a decent amount of body lift? and could someone possible show me before and after pics of this?

 

Thanks guys!

[blackout07]

3" all day. Don't bother with anything less.

 

 

Here's mine back in the day..

 

[TimmyG]

Its the same work to do 1.5. Or 3. Just do the 3

I do mostly highway driving and i dont really go offroading or the beach. i have always wanted to lift my truck, but never did. I love my truck and will be keeping it until the wheels fall off. What do you all think?

[cparks555]

Sounds like a good plan, and will be done right the first time. Price seems a little high to me, but I've noticed different parts of the country seem higher priced in regards to install and such. If you're happy with it, go for it.

2" or 2.5" level which ever you prefer, and PA body lift. Had that exact set up on my last truck and loved the ride (because it didnt change) and the look. It rode so much taller over other gms lol. Loved it ! Good luck with the budget lift keep us posted. Here's a pic of mine.
