Not to many if any. And if you find them I bet you are looking at an EASY $500+. then factor in pitman arm, radius arms, springs etc

 

But what does a good lift cost?

I thought this was going to be one of those "my truck gets 100 MPG" threads but this actually looks legit and doesn't have me laughing and pointing yet.

I'm kind of surprised it's not more popular if it's that easy.

 

A GOOD stage II lift(longer radius arms and rear add-a-leafs)
Is $1300 and that pretty much includes everything

 

Solo motor sports is one and Auto Fab is another. The beams themselves are around $300 +core. Complete bolt on kits start around $1,800.

 

I see Autofab makes them to widen the track. I guess you need to run the prerunner fiberglass flare too

 

I will add this; be careful about wide track arms as you'll need custom axle shafts.

 

If I were to do this would I need a drop pitman arm? New radius arms?

 

yes drop pitman arm And You don't "need" radius arms, but they are better than drop brackets for them

 

Planned on doing my lift now, already have a kit with springs , pitman, shocks, rear springs, brake lines, ect. might do upgrades when affordable(not at Xmas time)

Would like to do extended radius arms first and then maybe the cut and turn beams. Arizona is very rocky, lots of articulation. This would get rid of drop brackets one set(radius and beams) at a time. If I sell my first born, I could do it now.

Super lift steering system will be first($300), then radius arms($400) then maybe cut and turns($400-500). Of course diff upgrades come in somewhere also($ ?). And last and least, remove porno red interior!!

 

Could I use the stock radius arms with the stock brackets?

 

You will need either drop brackets(with stock arms) or radius arms with new brackets

 

If you don't need the high speed off road capacity a solid axle would be better for articulation. The TTB can be made to work well though if you need both. It's just more expensive.

 

Agreed 110%

 

X2 on what he said

 

I like to keep all 4 wheels on the ground. By the time I bought an axle and track bar/brackets, and all the other parts needed for an SAS, it wouldn't be that much cheaper. Especially if the gears didn't match my current 355 gears or the future 410s. I live on a dirt road, and (will)use my truck for hunting, camping ect. I don't think I'll be beating on it. Been there done that when I was younger, just gets expensive to play. I do on the other hand want to build a reliable truck, no fun fixing them when you want to hunt.
