4 or 6 inches

[tom10]

i wanna do a suspension lift and i wanna do a 4 or 6 inch but i wanna do it all on my own and i was wondering what all is do you install is it like an add a leaf kinda thing or is it blocks or is it springs for the rear end and i think i understand the front end but it is it really complicated to do

[99COOP]

Nope, ifs is easy imo. Just time consuming is all. Rear is easy: blocks, aal's, or new springs. spend the extra $ and go with new springs and cut down on the axle wrap. go with a 6, you will be hating yourself later for not going bigger.

I'm with that guy^^^ Always go bigger or you will regret it later down the road. I was going to put a 6.5" Dick Crepek lift on my tahoe, but decided to go the other way after much debate. But IMO spend the extra $$ and get a good quality lift and save money in the long run. The DC lift is one of the best from the reasearch that I did, and get new leafs don't go with blocks though add a leafs might not be too bad, but for 6" you would have to add quite a few of them.

so you can just get new springs for the back or do you have to do aal

Go with a lift from Dick Crepek IMO, spend the money and do it right the first time

But any company that has been around for a while should be fine. Heres some

Dick Crepek 6.5"
Pro Comp 6"
Rough Country 6"

the only thing is try to find a lift that has a full 6" dif drop for the front so your CV angles stay good

x2, RC is a great lift for the money, but cepek is definitely the strongest of them.

DC gets my vote, toughest and tallest 6" kits out there for the OBS.

[Ninety5PoloZ]

I had the money all saved for the DC lift for my tahoe, but backed out at the last minute. I drove a few lifted trucks and it just wasn't my cup 'o tea. My dad has a 98 ram with a 2.5" leveling kit and 35s and its too big for me. I'd rather have them low, but nothing against lifted trucks, I love the look of them :D

But if your on a budget get the RC lift, but if you want the biggest and the best save for the DC lift.

[tom10]

im looking at a nice rc one since im kinda on a budget but is it a rough ride with em cuz figure if your putting new suspension on then you wont be feeling every bump in the road

[99COOP]

No, as long as you dont crank the tbars too much it wont be a rouch ride. Most people actually like the ride after installing a lift more then they did when it was stock.

I have ridden in a few trucks that were cranked and still rode better than stock. I think its the bigger tires and better shocks that improve the ride.

But spend money on good tires and shocks too. I have owned Nitto Terra Grapplers a few different times and that are the best all around tire IMO, great price and a great wearing tire.

well if you crank too much you rest on the bump stops and have no upward travel so that will ride like shit.

Oh I agree, these weren't cranked to the max, but they did sit a little cali.

[bowtiefreak]

so did you decide on the 6" kit?
