well, you could be maxed out at stock the way your putting it. you can always go bigger, banana springs, shackle flips, lowering spring hangers, all depends on what you want. not to mentoin, you ever looked at those trucks runnin 3, 4, inch body lifts? i guess if you like to be able to put your head inbetween your cab and frame, go for it, but thats just not me.

WOW!! Me and stevef100s has somthing in common after all.... After we had our big argument about my 300 I-6 vrs. that chevy 350!
Yeah, but you proved me wrong. When the answer is an opinion though, it's tough to be wrong. I did a search for bumper brackets for your truck, but couldn't find any. It seems they only come with all the body lifts when it comes to Ford. I could find several for Chevy.

hey, eveyone has their opinion, just mines right
i just wish us ford guys could leave all the half-*** engineering and el cheapo (quality wise, NOT money wise) ways to do things up to the chebby guys. i think everyone will agree with me when i say that if you have a 3-4" gap b/t the frame and body it reall y looks crappy!-cutts-

hey fishmandotcom I am 18 years old. Everything I have I earned. My mommy and daddy dont buy me "wants". I am not getting smart with you or any thing just saying that my money funds arent exactly suffecient enough for me just to go buy a 9" lift. I have 6inch suspension lift right now ,but I would like to a little go higher!!!! I have decided not to go with a body lift any way.

fishmandotcom I have a job, I only make 1200 dollars a month, im in school, and have to pay insurance to drive the truck, I pay all of my personal expences, and so on. Dont tell me I could be making better money at 18 without having my I/E license. I work at a napa auto care center as a mechanic. But like I said I dont have my I/E license and roll in the money yet like you.

pfffft, hahaha. you make me laugh!
once again, i save and do what i can to pull my junk together. hell you make quite a bit more than i do in a month and i still get by quite easily. maybe you should lay off buying beer or taking the girl shoppin!
at least you decided not to go with a body lift.
may i ask why it is so important to go a few more inches higher? i am just curious and maybe could help come up with some ideas
