6" LIFT?
Hey guys I am in the process of looking for another dent. I want something I can drive in the winter. My buddie might be selling his. My question is, can you buy a 6" lift that is complete? Is there a kit that acounts for everything? Like brake lines and steering?

It's for a 1/2 ton. I have never installed a lift on a truck before. I do have basic mechanic skills though and was just wondering if I could install one myself. I know the 6inch is prob alot more involved than a four inch.

actually i dont think it is much different at all other than part sizes a little different.
i would like to know also whats needed as far as a complete KIT to do the install.
What don't they tell you that you need to extend or move to get it to work?.

Just a warning and dont mean to scare you these complete kits that are sold are always full of surprises. I don't care what brand it is something will go wrong. As long as you have some patients and some creativity you'll figure out the little obstacles these manufactures let out.

Yeah that is what I figured and why I posted. Just wondering how much these kits usually leave out.

Well I didn't necessarily buy a kit but seems like no matter what I buy it's never complete or it's wrong all together. It's frustrating sometimes. Every week is something different hurry up and wait. This week I got my dual steering stabilizer kit from bronco graveyard which is not right. 1st I noticed they forgot a bushing in the one shock so still waiting on that. Tonight I found out they sent me u bolts for a D44 when I ordered a 60. Stuff like that plus when you do lifts things sometimes need relocated or altered that you don't count on.
