There are at least 4 different types of leveling kits but I don't know anything about any of them. I liked both of my trucks the way they rolled out of the factory. The only thing I did was add a 10 disc CD changer to the one that I ordered with a cassette player. I mounted it on the transmission hump since there was console between the bucket seats and no middle seat.

 

Alright, thanks for your help

 

you should sit down and start some serious research. Lift kits do not lift the shocks they space out the springs. you can get blocks lifts, or lifts that have new springs, some of the better lifts come with shocks, or leveling lifts that just lift the front to level truck out. Same with body lifts their is a huge quality difference and size of spacers. The cheaper body lift uses smaller pucks that put a lot of stress on the body mounts, good kits have bigger pucks and more hardware. Personally i hate body lifts and find it way easier to install a suspension lift..

Tape deck some one has a old truck LOL..

 

I do like suspension lifts more but they are far more expensive. Im just a kid, I don't want to be spending all my money on a lift. Thanks more info.

 

Had. My "new" truck is an '01 that I've had since 2000. The one before this one had a tape player. At the time I had a choice of an AM/FM radio with a tape player or a CD player, or neither one, but not both. AM radio only may have been an option too. Some people would get those and replace the radio with something better, but keep the factory speakers, instead of starting from scratch.

Sometime after that they made a truck with a radio/CD player, and it had a tape player stuck in the dash all by itself, a foot or so below the radio IIRC. My "new" truck has a CD player and no tape player. I wanted both in my old truck but they didn't make one with both at the time. That's why I bought a 10 disk CD changer while I was waiting for the truck to be built. I still have about 240 tapes that I can't play in the truck, but over 500 CDs that I can. I listen to my CDs instead of the radio when I drive.

 

I would save up and look around for a used lift... Have not seen what you have for a truck but a basic lift of front coils or re clocking keys for torsion bars and rear blocks is not expensive. Probably at most a few hundred more than a GOOD body lift

 

Thanks for the idea. Im actually considering just buying a truck that is already lifted.

How does this look? https://centralmich.craigslist.org/c...540046112.html

 

Most people aren't going to put a 6" suspension lift on a truck unless they want to play in the mud. And if they've been mud bogging for nearly 20 years, it could have a lot of wear that you may not notice with a look and a test drive. Big tires cause more wear and tear on the whole drive-line. Some suspension parts will likely wear out faster than stock parts, and when you do replace them they will cost more. Even standard parts like brake lines probably won't fit if you have to replace them. There are a lot reasons not to lift a truck, or to buy one with a lift, but I can only think of 2 reasons for a lift like that. Either you think it looks cool and are willing to pay the price for that, or you plan on mud bogging.

And don't forget, you and your passengers will have to climb the extra distance to get in. My stock Silverado sits pretty low and my mom can barely get in. If I had a lift I'd have to carry a stool or a ladder everywhere for her to be able to get in.

 

Thanks for the reply. I could be wrong but I was looking at this truck because he said it was his daily driver and seems like he lifted it for looks (not off roading). I love the looks of lifted trucks and thats why I want one, I have my Trx 400ex for off road.

Good Idea thinking about people getting in and out of the truck. However, I am very tall for my age. Im still "a kid" so my parents are still young and athletic and fully able to get into a lifted truck.

The one thing I didn't think about was parts. That is very true that stock brakes wouldn't work and I would need to pay more to get heavy duty parts.

Thanks for the reply and things to think about jumbo

 

Things must be different down in your area.. From Alberta to BC you can barley buy a new truck from the dealer without a 4-8 inch lift dealer installed. Everybody drives em.

That dodge looked pretty good i would go take a look at it and go from their check the steering and suspension over, fluids if possible. Most of the steering components will be stock and easy to get, Extended brake lines are easy to find most parts stores have em. Crawl around underneath and look for signs of mud bogging any closed space may still have signs of mud packed in like the boxed areas of the frame. Check around steering box for cracks big tires put extra stress on that area, again another easy fix as they make a repair plate for that you can weld in. Dodge is a good veh to lift as they are one of the only ones still running a solid front axle in those trucks.

Just remember Lift with big tire = poor fuel econ and faster steering and suspension component wear. But if thats what u want have fun with it thats what trucks are made for.... fun...
