Lift a leveled truck?

[NMRam]

With the TTB front suspension on that, if you already have coil spacers and drop brackets, I don't know that there is much else you can do without springing for a full-blown lift. If you go much higher without dropping the axle, your tires will be bowed out at the tops and you would never be able to align it.

A body lift might be your only choice without spending quite a bit of money.

As far as the 3/4 ton springs on the 1/2 ton, I believe they are both wider and longer, so they won't just bolt in. You would probably be better off to do an Add-A-Leaf with your existing spring pack or have a spring shop re-build your nearly 20 year old pack to get some arch back into it.

ahh ok. well thank you! haha
are 1" block lifts unusual? i guess i could spring for a two...

not at all i wouldn't go past 2" BL most of the newer gm trucks run leveling kits and 1.5" bodylifts there not very noticable if at all

BTW keep in mind unless your putting a Bodylift on yourself you might as well get a suspension lift by rough country for around the same price because most places charge no less than $1000 around here for a BL it would cost about the same for a full Suspension it was quoted 1k for a BL and 750 for a suspension lift for me lol

Haha no i'll install it. Installed one on a buddy's dakota. It wasnt horrible when most things on that truck are, so im sure i can handle it on my truck haha.
I wouldnt be so hesitant if i hadn't dropped $118 on 2" drop brackets (stock one broke)

Half tons have coil springs correct?.... 3/4 and 1 tons have leaves in front

 

[mr7confused]

I have coils yes, but for 3/4's theres a combo. Most 4x4 have leaves, and 2wd have coils but i guess sometimes they were intermixed.

Yes, the half ton TTB's run coils.
