Ebay you can find 3" lift spindles for $200 which will put you well below budget...ive got them on my truck...and then you could go with a coil spacer for the front to give you some more lift and as far as the back you could go shackles or procomp aal...

 

Thanks

 

ya no problem there is a lot of good information already on the forums and plenty of How-Tos to help you with what ever you decide...

 

If you need an AAL for the rear i can hook you up. Got one in the closet.

 

Gway if he doesn't take you up on the aal ill take you up on it..I'm pretty sagged out need a pick me up

 

According to your profile you have a 2wd Z71 so the 3 inch eBay or Fabtech lift spindles will not work. You may be able to get 3 inches out of the front by cranking your torsion bars or buying new lift keys.

Z71's Don't have coils in the front so you cannot use coil spacers.

Or you can get a skyjacker or Rancho 4" Suspension lift But they are more than 800 dollars

Ya didn't see you had a z71

 

i have a 2wd z71 with 3" lift spindles, there is a how to for it, just doesn't drive like factory, it will have a lil bump steer and the steering is much more sensitive, but with the price of spindles now its $200 for lift spindles or $1000-$1800 or so for a subframe kit..

 

3 in spindles on 2 in crank will have near no bump steer. I did a how to a while back.

A far ask lift keys those are cheap and you can safely net 3 inches with stock keys or lift keys if your truck is getting up there in miles

 

To be honest guys... I'm not sure if it's z71 or not. :th_crazy:
This is my first truck. How can I tell?

 

Look where your front shock is. if you have a coil spring around it you have coil springs. If you dont and its just a shock there, it's a torsion bar setup.

 

Ok thanks

 

Ok there's a spring around the shock... What would be my best bet? Spacers? Spindles?also what's an aal?

 

i would do spindles over spacers, the ebay ones are about the same price as spacers and will keep your factory ride, spacers will make it stiff. add a leaf is an extra leaf in the spring pack to give more arch, towing capacity, and lift, or you can run shackles to bring the stock leaf spring down so it rides factory, add a leaf will make the rear stiffer but let you haul more without sagging so much

 

Spacers didn't change my ride at all.

 

For $800 go here...

Then get an aal and/or shackles

 

I actually saw this kit while I was google searching... Think this is the one I'll go with. Probably do shackles in the rear. I'll post pics when it's done!

Thanks everyone

 

You could run a 3" spindle or if you want more go for the 5". You could also run a 3" spindle and a small coil spacer. I dont know if they make spacers in different sizes. For the rear you could run a add a leaf or get a Suspension maxx shackle to lift the rear.

 

yeah im confused if you use the bolt on spcers they dont change your ride at all, speaking from experience.
now ive heard the spacers that you install on your spring its self slighty tighten up your coils when you bolt your shock back together, ex: belltech 1" spacer

 

Its going to be slightly stiffer due to the angle of the lca.
