Suspension Lift Or Leveling Kit With Body Lift

big55sexy · December 5, 2010

need help going back and forth with this. I have a 04 z71 crewcab i do not do any offroading if anything might ride on a dirt road. Like to do 35inch tires but will not work with a body lift and leveling kit combo with out any rubbing. thinking about going with 33inch tires. not looking to spend a whole lot of money like to stay around 2,500 to 2,800 hundred and thats high for me thats with lift and tires. i am thinking about going with a 2 1/2 leveling kit with a 3inch body lift on 33x12.50x17. I know a 6inch suspension lift with 35inch tires is going to cost me 3,000 plus. thanks

Contact All Terrain Fabrications and/or Southern Truck Performance for a price on a BDS 6" suspension lift. It lists for 1800 on BDS site but you can get it cheaper from those two Vendors. Let's just say you get the lift for 1500.00 then you get Mickey Thompson ATZ 33x12.5x17 (just an example) for around 1,000.00. So you're right at 2500.00.

Then if later you decide you want to get 35's you will already have the 6" lift. Or you could go ahead and get the 35's for @1300.00 and you have the 6" and 35's for right around 2,800.00. The tire prices are just a quick example not exact and obviously you don't have to get Mickey Thompson.

But the 33's with a 6" lift look fine. The only snag you may have is using the stock wheels. Some say you can't use stock wheels but I was able to run my stock 18" wheels with 33" tires with my 6"BDS. My truck is a 08 though so be sure to check on the stock wheels working with your set up.

I don't have the phone numbers for STP or All Terrain but if you can't find them with a quick google search I will dig them up later. All Terrain Fab is in Plano Tx and I'm not sure where STP is located. Neither have a decent web site but their numbers are on the pages.

Edit: I didn't think about the install price for the suspension lift so if you're paying someone that blows my proposal all to heck
