2014+ Suspension Lifts

[Harrysagoo]

Did you get the standard shocks or did you upgrade to the Nitro or fox shocks?

Nitro shocks. They were only few $$ extra.

Why would you want to go back to stock?

I know your half joking half serious. But the only reason for me returning to stock would be part availability on kits that get discontinued or re-sale of the truck. You'll get more value on a stock truck than something with a kit on it all day.

 

A lot of buyers will not touch a truck that's been modified and for good reason.

 

All those things aside, I don't think a "quality" kit should modify the truck to the point where you don't have the stock option anymore. I guess it's something you have to deal with but there's very few kits out there that will outlast stock GM parts. Maybe full custom

not necessarily true at all. Where I live a lifted truck will cost more than its stock brethren all day new or used (optioned similarly obviously)

On a used truck? I dunnnnnnnoooo

 

Either way you pay 4-5k for tires/lift. You rarely will see that return

on a used truck yes! You rarely see ANY return on a hobby, that's what hobbies are, ways to spend money in a way you enjoy........

I can give you the dealer link because seeing is believing

In California, a lifted truck will sell for more than a stock truck.

After years of working hard and putting my family first, I finally got to get my lifted truck.

 

I've been following this forum for all 166 pages of it. After seeing all the great input y'all provided, I went with the following...

 

4" BDS Suspension Lift

295/60r20 Open Country ATll Extremes

This is very true especially with a quality kit done in good taste

I'm actually not joking at all haha. And for a couple reasons, as others have said you may not get a full return on your lift kit but that's a "Well no shit" statement but you will normally get more for it with a quality kit vs a stock truck especially in the south and California. Two, if the best lift manufacturers didn't need to cut some things to make their lifts work like you'd expect they wouldn't. But your definitely no engineer, they need to in order to make their kits work properly, accounting for new angles and camber adjustments, you name it. So at the end of the day if you want to lift it, lift it and do so with a kit your gonna love. Don't compromise for some future dudes few extra bucks (or lack the thereof as discussed) all those years down the road. Enjoy your truck. That's what it's all about.
