Cheapest and easiest way to lift any pickup?
To start with I've read around 5-6 threads on lift kits so I am confident this is not a repeat. (hopefully)
- I won't be rock crawling - I won't be crazy off roading, I only go to very basic trails some times - My %95 of driving is in the city - I have 32's on and they are rubbing when full turning - I want to go maybe 33s or 35 - I want to lift for the looks... - I want 5" to 6" lift preferably but I can settle for 3" to 4" as well. - I do not want to modify any break lines etc... Now I've seen I can do a couple of things: - I am not sure which of the below options can be combined? - I need the advice for ordering these lift options from a) easiest installation, b) price.. professionalism for offroad is not even a concern. - I have an 89' Pickup 4x4 What I found so far: - Ball joint spacers - Body lift kit - Shackle kit - Suspension lift kit Which one should I go with for 5 to 6 inches easier to install, then price... (I have free access to professional mechanic lift, so I can lift my pickup) Thanks so much! |
If you don`t want to lengthen your brake lines you may as well give up the idea
Any time you increase the distance of the suspension from the wheels (brake drums Rotors) the length of the flexible lines must be increased . You might be able to get away with a 1" or 2" body lift not the 5" or 6" you want Then are you planning to change your gears as well or just live with the reduced power from the bigger tires ?? Shop around for the best price of a good Suspension Lift kit either local to you or with the shipping costs factored in. |

Were you recommending this because it's a better way of doing it or there is something I don't know :)? What do you think about other options? |
Cheapest and easiest....that's my favorite method :) Seems like a coil and a 2" body lift will get you to 6" in the rear. http://gearinstalls.com/dadcoil.htm
The front is a little trickier. Hope you have manual locking hubs. Aluminum balljoint spacers and a little cranking. Re-use your rubber factory brakelines....just move the brackets a couple inches. |
