Need a lift kit?

**mec.1987** · 12-15-2008, 05:44 PM

Ok guys, I'm seeing a lot of discussions, where people are asking about lifts, but they really dont have the money to go out and buy "bolt on" kits. And yes, I agree these can be pricey! If you are driving a newer truck and you have the money, I would advise getting the kits. I'm doing a write up here shortly titled CHEAP LIFT KIT.This is the perfect way to lift your hunting truck, or older model truck. There may be a few comlpications on the newer models. This lift can be used on 4wd, 2wd, cars..I even did it to my 4wheeler. Give me time, It should be up shortly.

Hockey pucks is an old trick for body lifts years ago, but the price of pucks have went up like everthing else.

I'm doing the 6" lift next month but I'm having it installed. Too much for me to do on my own.

Is this gonna be good just for leveling by lifting the front a bit? Excuse me if that's a stupid question... I'm a muscle car guy... this is my first truck.
