Question Lifting your truck..

Hey, ive got a 94 xtra cab pickup that already has a 6in lift, drop spindles in front and blocks in back. My question is what can i do to go higher than 6in (without increasing tire size) not sure how i feel about body lifts eaither. ive been searching for kits which are higher than 6in but have had no luck. Im farily new to the world of trucks, so if someone could fill me in on the ins and outs of lifting trucks it would be awsome.

oh yeah. ive seen yotas that look like the leaf spings have some type of drop bracket on them..what kind of lift is this?

thanks alot guys.

You won't find any lifts that high for a reason.

Good luck.

my vote:

Take the 6" lift off, and 35s. drop it to 2-3" and put 33s on it.

so why do you need to go higher than what you have now, 6in lift is pretty big dude, if ur just going for a show truck an need to go bigger your only choice is a body lift, you have already maxed out your suspension lift options for your IFS (independent front suspension) if you really need to go any bigger look at SASin it (solid axle swap) an your really not gonna have many lift options with that to go much bigger unless you make your own lift, an anything over 6in isn't really that safe for on road driving in my own opinion

theres like 20 shocks on the back of that thing!?!?!?....wtf? that's extremely pointless.......

back on topic!!!

check out Blazeland.us, it's a budget long travel suspension that has the potential to put out about 4" of lift

so you could bolt it onto your 6in bracket lift, and actually get around 10" of lift, then do a 3" body lift...that's 13" LIFT!!!! and then you might be able to clear some fricken 49's lmfao

lol...

yeah, if larger tires are your goal... and it inevitably will be then you're going in the way wrong direction...

It'll be like a Dana 30 running 44's...

You in Florida or Missouri?
