i dunno! it seems finding someone to swap you suspensions and a little cash your way is the way to go on this one but what do i know. youre gonna spend way more buying a different truck and then getting it all set up like you want it. and i wouldnt list how much you originally paid for the truck on ebay. all the aftermarket stuff most people think of as a you dont get your money back for that kinda thing so listing your original purchase price will only get people to lowball you i think.....

I though about that but i figure ide throw a little smoke a mirrors at them, i actually paid 9k for the truck, the other 11 or 10 are in mods. the lowest i am gunna go on it is 16500 i hope to get that. i just cant let it go for any cheaper

IMO, that is a horrible ebay ad. If you truly want to sell that truck you've got to change that ad. First of all, put the VIN in there. Take a bunch of pictures, host them on photobucket or wherever you like and enter in their HTML code into the ad you type. That way you'll have an unlimited number of pictures. Lose all the prices next to your mods. Lose the list of mods and type a nice description of the truck. What color is the interior? Cloth, leather? Put some effort forth into the ad and paint a pretty picture of the truck, tell a story, sell your truck in your ad. $0.02.

nah i dont. the cab was too rotted so i had to cut out the part that u mount the steps to, and the frame ones i would hve to custom make which isnt a problem, but i would need to invest some cash if i wanted to do it right.

Just figure out to stick some steps on it. Even a stock leveled truck without steps SUCKS to get into. A 6" lift with stock steps is easy to get into.

Butl, there are several sets of holes under there for different combos of steps. Just find one on craigslist for a 100 bucks and stick it on there. Heck just weld the thing on there... it will be 10x better then without them..

Find someone with a stock truck that wants a lift, swap springs, track bar, shocks, wheels and tires, whatever else you have changed and keep the truck. You'll kick yourself in the arsenal if you sell it just to get rid of the lift.
