Low cost 3" lift

[dubfreaks]

Whats out there for a decent lift without killing my wallet. 03 Z71 with 230k on it don't wanna spend too much money on a truck with this kind of miles but still wanna weigh out the possibilities. Thanks fellas

Don't know what any of that means dude, this is my first truck, I've been a euro sedan guy so I'll tell you all about lowering but not a thing about lifting a truck. Of i could get a lot with everything I need I'll be golden.

You have torsion bar on your truck. They go from the LCA to the torsion bar bracket. Inside it are what they call keys. And if you crank the bolt that holds tension on them it'll lift the truck. You can also get aftermarket lift keys and it'll lift it more. Now doing it this way will make the ride rough but its the cheapest way. You can also get rear lift springs or cups that go under them to lift the rear. You will probably need shock extenders too.

If your budget will allow it I'd recommend Bilstein shocks in the correct length vs. using extenders. Your stock shocks are probably worn to hell anyway, might as well replace them. I went with Z71 springs (on my LT) and it gave me ~ 2" in the rear with no spacers, eBay keys up front. My total cost was just over $400 and about $320 of that was shocks (4 x Bilsteins @ ~ $81.00 each.) Did it in my garage with the help of a friend on a Saturday afternoon. These trucks are generally pretty easy to lift.

I run keys and cups under coils and have 20s in my picture that's a good start to get some better ground clearance for hunting a body lift would help,to and still cheaper than full suspension lift
