Is There A 6" Suspension Lift That Doesnt Require Cutting Or Weld

Reds · January 2, 2011

I tried do some research but seems like all the kits involve welding or cutting. I can weld just dont want to make the lift permanent or just dont like the idea of welding on a new truck. I understand the get what you pay for deal and would be all ready to jump on the BDS kit its just hard to believe there isnt a kit that doesnt involve welding and such.

Thanks for any input

there is NO kid that doesnt require cutting. the crossmember that runs between the rear lower control arms is in the way of dropping down the differential. if you make a clean cut. save all the pieces. theres no reason it cant be returned to stock if you can weld. bds makes a very nice kit because it keeps the tortion bars in the stock location so you dont have that ungodly crossmember hanging down. but you wont find a kit at all that doesnt require cutting and welding. sorry

@ John :

that is not true...there is a liftkit that doesn´t require cutting or welding..it´s the 3" RC liftkit but as we all know, nobody who had it here on this forum liked it a lot.

Had to edit my post, Justin has a 2500HD so the 3" RC kit is useless for him (only the 1500s).

I believe he's looking at a 6" lift not a 3" ................... just sayin.....

Trucks not new anymore its an 08!!! I had my 08 cut up a long time ago and its still holding up just great with 50K on it. (40K of it which was lifted). Just do it you wont regret it.
