Does anyone have a picture of their truck with a leveling kit one it? im thinking about getting one and wanna know if its really worth it or not.

 

I just installed some 2 inch rear drop shacles....it closed up the massive gap between tire and fenderwell, but could probably use another 1 to 2 inches to get completly level. I have some pics if I can get a chance to post them.

 

before



after super lift add a leafs gave me about 2 1/4 of lift i like it. and it rides nice was fairly easy and i got a good deal

 

wait up or down?

 

I had the 2 inch coil spacers on my truck for about year and a half.
It now has a 6 inch lift.

Here it is with 2 inch coils spacers and 31" tires.



Here it is with 2 inch coil spacers with 33" tires.



Here is a picture from the craigslist ad when I got it 2 years ago.
With no lift and 31" tires.

 

Before the lift

2.5" leveling kit with 33x11.5's

With 33x12.5's

With 35x12.5's

 

i wanna go up. all these look good so i think that i will get it and from what iv read it isnt really that hard to install

 

And what about sterring extensions do i need that?

 

No. If you are just leveling it out, you will need the coil spacers and adjustable
chamber bushings. Like the ones below.
2 inch Front Poly Lift Spacers, Black

Adjustable Alignment Bushings Pair

 

So if i get the coil spacers could i just get those and go to the tire shop get an alignment instead?

 

Yes the tire shop should be able to get them and install them. When I did
my truck I put the adjustable chamber bushings in my self to save money.
Then I took it to the alignment shop to get a alignment. I would ask the shop you are going to use, how much they are going to charge you for the chamber bushings and labor to put them in.

 

Hey Raptor1971 I have the same truck as you except 1992, engine, tranny, rear, color. Anyways, what brand of lift kit do you have in the truck and how much. Thanks

 

I got the lift from craigslist for $190. The guy said it was a 6 inch Trailmaster with rear leaf springs that cost $1200, but I do not think it is. It looks like a rough country. I felt stupid when I put the leaf springs on the rear and find out when I lowered the truck off the jacks, it was the same height as before. So I got some lift blocks for the rear. If I know what I know now I would of bought a new lift kit.
I got around $1000 in the lift because of all the bolts, nuts, leaf spring bushings, shocks, pitman arm, brake lines and so on.
You can get Rough Country lift kit off of ebay for $500 plus around $70 for shipping. It looks like it has almost everthing but extended brake lines and adjustable camber bushings for the alignment.

 

I would put the bushings on myself but i really have no idea what i am doing with suspension front end work etc. I do believe i can get the coil spacers on though

 

Raptor1971 Ok thanks for replying, also how does it ride for a daily driver. I want a 4 inch rough country lift with blocks, and it is $470. Thanks
