Lift kit?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys I've been thinking about lifting my stock 2005 2500HD 4x4. I think I want to lift it 2 or 3 inches. I was wondering if anybody has a lift similar to this, what kind of lift kit is it, and how would it look with stock rims. I don't want to buy new rims but I will be purchasing 285's on the stock 16" rim and I think a 2 or 3 inch lift would complete the look. I'm not a fan of body lifts so where is a good place to get suspension lifts and blocks, ect. Anybody have pics of a truck with a 2-3 inch lift with stock rims? Thoughts?

They are cranked, what would a three or four inch lift look like?

If i go 2", would add a leaf be better than with a rear block or what?

I found this one lift kit, it is a Tuff Country 2" and it comes with new keys and blocks for the back, but when I read it it said it lifts the front 2" an the rear only 1", won't this make my truck have higher front end than the rear? Is it possible to buy 2" blocks by themselves and the keys by themselves?

If you're cranked 2" already on the factory keys, DO NOT waste your money on leveling keys. They won't do anything for you other than allow you to over crank and drain you of cash. If you want the rear to come up you can buy just a rear block kit. If you're wanting the entire truck to come up another couple of inches, then you need to start looking at 4" - 6" suspension kits.

Is there any way that you can lift the front 4" and the rear 2" so it is level and lifted 2" overall?

Get a 4" front end lift kit and buy blocks separately with new U bolts. You can even go to a shop and have u bolts made up to fit your needs. This is the route I am taking with my truck, cuz I have new keys and the add-a-leaf in the rear and the rear is way higher. I just want to get a kit for the front, then see what I need in rear with a 1" or so block to make it look right. I do like the rear a little higher than the front anyways.

 

Been lookin for a whule for a kit just for the front, that is just BOLT-ON. I want a 4" as well.

So in stock form the front end sits about 2" lower than the rear? So if I want a 2" lift I would need a 4" kit for the front and 2" blocks in the read?
