plus this body lift...will give you 6" total lift... totalling $1,140

...or you can go with the 4" trailmaster lift and the body lift for 7"... but the first lift posted is a better way to go...

then throw in some of these ($616 for set of 4- 33 12.50)

and you're ready to ride for $1756
(i'm good at spending money... hehehe)

oh, and to n4w

your best best is to get the 3" suspension lift and 3"body lift.

I'm not fond of the trailmaster lift+body lift. People with that combination have suspension problems all the time.

he's right, even with body lifts alone I've seen some vehicles start creaking after a few years from the stress on the body mounts trying to cope with pitching and tilting of the body so far above the frame. and I've seen others with a body lift + a suspension lift seem to get like a scramin' banshe every time theres the slightest bit of articulation happening.

I think you best bet if you want more than 4" is to save up your money for a solid front axle swap.

yeah, i've only heard negative things about the TrailMaster lift...
(hence, why I didn't post a link for it... )

body+suspension will give you plenty of lift to look cool. Assuming that is your goal.

For practicality I recommend staying with a 3" suspension lift and upgrading everything els.

Yeah i do want it to look cool but i also want it to to have good off-roading capabilities

3" + steering + locker is where it's at.

But I would put the $3000 in the bank, wait until you've saved $6000, then get rid of the IFS headache and swap in an axle up front.

you have to crawl before you can walk.

buy the 3" suspension lift with the 9k shocks. Order you a lock right and a calmini LSD. Your truck will take you anywhere you'll want to go outside of the rocks and deep mud.

Oh yea, get the hohaa center link.
