[tomaitz]

Just purchased the truck for $800.00 with 62,000 miles on it. And right now i am planning to do a suspension lift on truck w/o hurting my wallet too much!! part of the plans also is to fit 32's on the truck.. what lift kit would be the best for my project..? any comments and suggestions you guyz might have will be greatly appreciated.. cuz im new to this whole lifting o truck never did do this before.. so im counting on you guyz... hope you guyz can help me out!! aloha!!:)

[j894]

For that price and that millage...........the only advice I can give is to immediately sell that truck to me for $801 and make $1 profit :D

To fit 32's with just a supension lift u would probably get away with a rough country or superlift 2" kit, not a huge kit so not too expensive. You might wanna do a little trimming on the inner fenders to help with rubbing

[Tink]

Sounds like you got a good deal!

Could always do the 2" with a body lift as well.... the taller lifts are super expensive, since they include drop bracketry for your front diff.

[spideyjected]

Is this the same truck as before? If so, what was wrong with it?

i was looking at the 6" superlift kit.. but then.. damn the thing is expensive.. plus to ship here in hawaii where im from will cost me arm and leg.. but yah im looking at the 2" lift too.. but then.. i was reading could cause some premature stuff to some parts of the truck.. i don't know which one is the right kit for me... need help guyz....:)

[tomaitz]

i tried bringin my truck on the sand today.. damn tires doesn't do well in the sands.. what kind size of tires do you guyz think will float in the sand..?

[spideyjected]

I dont know what it has for tires currently, but I'd say find something with agressive crossbar type treads for sand.

Ive been doing research on the Rough Country 2"lift.

Im in the same boat as you. Ive come to the conclusion that its cheaper and easier in the long run to do a body lift. all the 2 inch suspension lift is gonna do is help your front end parts to wear out faster. ALOT faster

This is interesting. They wear out fast enough the way it is.:(

[tomaitz]

that's right the 2" lift can wear out your parts faster.. that's why it's better to get the one next to that kit.. you pay more but.. you get your money's worth!!

[tomaitz]

so wat is the best offroad rims that i could get for my truck..?

well, ive heard the ones made out of metal are good.

ah yes and being round is a good thing too

If you wear the front end parts out fast then you need to look at what you replace them with.. Cheep parts wear out fast. If you replace them out with the right parts they will last. I had a Blazer with 220,000 miles on it when I sold it. I replaced the ball joints one time.. Only one time! I had the t-bars cranked too.
You buy junk you get junk...
You get what you pay for...
Sorry but thats the truth....

[spideyjected]

I've always preferred steel rims for off roading, and in general for that matter. But I think the newer alloys are better than they use to be.

[Jongo88]

I have had both with no problems..

[tomaitz]

so any brand name..? model name..? part number..? what do you guyz have the most..? alcoas? reals..?
