Lift Questions!!!

Ok, I have a 2000 4x4 Lim Ex. It has a 4in pro comp lift I want to replace it with a 6in lift I need ideas for brands I don't want a huge price tag lift kit. I don't want to add lift to the kit I have now. I want something fresh, I want a descent ride I want to avoid blocks in the rear as much as possible. maybe full leafs? (Idk) the wagon fell doesn't bother me as mush as the hard ride with blocks do! any input please! Thanks Tim. (I was checking out pro comps 6in leafs for the front and rear) not sure tho

Good except a pitman arm from hell that broke two pullers. And my torch was out of gas! But a grinder and a whole lot of adjustment tool, " a big hammer" and 4 hours later it was off. Not counting the pitman arm from parking in driveway to pulling off and driving away looking a lot better 8 hours.

Sounds like it was fun! Did you use the shocks that came with the kit? And how big was the block in the back?

You have to upload the pictures to another site, something like Flickr. Then you insert the photo link into your post here using the little picture icon in the post tool pallet.

You can upload to your album on this site and then copy the URL or other codes on the bottom if you don't want to deal with other sites.
