lift kit effecting u joints
#16
#17
I have an '05 with a 6" Trailmaster lift and 35" tires on 18" rims. the height from the ground to the top of the cab is about 6'10". Doesn't fit in any normal garage I've ever seen but that is because the door hangs lower than the actual opening on most garages. As far as the lift doing negative things to the steering, u-joints, etc, I haven't had any problems after 50k miles but I'm sure it's taking its toll.

Dang, that's a LOT of money for a 6" lift kit.
If I had that kind of money to drop, I'd spend it on a nice set of coilovers front and rear, then get some nice tires.
For instance....
This guy's truck....
vs mine...
Or...
Both are fairly extreme examples with the latter having multiple thousands into it.. but the first could be recreated with a slightly lesser desert look for like 2-3.
My coils and shocks were $450.

I believe I paid about $1800 for the Fabtech Performance Kit with Dirt Logic Coil Overs in front and regular Fabtech shocks for the rear. I bought it from Desert Rat and they priced matched a quote I found online. I think it was priced around $2000 originally. It is priced reasonably at Fabtech Complete Suspension System - Complete Suspension Systems with Shocks - Lift Kits - Lift Kits, Suspensions and Shocks - by 4 Wheel Parts-RH2. Sometimes they go on sale or you could keep shopping around. Hope this helps.

I have a profile on here with an album. There are pictures in there of my truck lifted. Just click on my avatar and it will take you to my garage where there are pics.
