Looking for good 3" lift kit


Recommended Posts

Posted

I want to get ahold of a good and complete 3" kit to have installed this summer. I would go 6" but I don't do a whole lot of off-roading so it would be a little impractical to go that high/extreme. I looked at body lifts...don't like the way they look. Also, my rig has 110K miles on her and the only thing I need to do is change out my left front hub because of the bearing going out, are there any other suspension components I should swap out to eliminate problems early. Any part numbers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When I installed my lift, my truck had over 187K mi. on it. While I was in there I replaced ALL of the front end parts (ball joints, tie rods, etc.). For me it was a whole lot easier while I had it apart. Plus, I figuer it would be a good investment since I was adding extra strain with larger tires. Also, don't get cheap with the brake hoses. If the lift kit you choose does not come with stainless steell braided hoses, invest in a set. I used Pro Comp hoses I ordered from http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku, even if you only go w/a 3" lift, change the hoses. They will not flex and expand while trying to stop the larger tires.
