Thinking of lifting the truck a few inches instead of lowering it. Its a 2003 Sierra hence my screen name. Not going to be an off roading truck much just want it a little taller for the street. Going to throw some 20s on it with just a little bigger than stock tires.

My buddy got a leveling kit for his Dodge and it looks pretty good. Looking for a good street ride and a good price.

 

rough country 3" lift cost you about $500 shipped to your door

 

which is a rip off for 3" spindles a block and crappy shocks.

You can get the Pro Comp 7" kit for around $1000 if you look hard enough.

As for the BEST setup....that's hard to say because they make some $10,000 prerunner kits that would blow away any normal travel suspensions.

I would buy the Pro Comp 7" kit, run a 2" coil spacer and a 3" body lift and throw some 37's on there.

 

Did you read his post I don't think he is looking to lift his truck to the sky, I had
installed a rough country 3" lift for a buddy of mine a couple of months ago, it
looked the same as the pro comp 3" lift that I installed on my wife's truck two years ago
the only things is that rough country uses blocks instead of add a leafs like procomp had
when they had sold a 3" lift for these trucks, plus the blocks were easier to
install than the add a leafs

 

Well a leveling kit for a dodge is MUCH different than a leveling kit for a chevy. Dodge 2wd's can fit 33's stock. If he's looking to fit a similar tire as a dodge with a leveling kit then he'll need at least a 7" kit.

Another thing to ask yourself is why spend $500 on a 3" kit when you can get one that will ride the exact same for $450 more.

 

Fabtech is known for their 2wd lifts. They are a little more expensive though.

 

I paid:
$275 for my spindles
$60 for my rear shocks
$35 for my 2" coil spacers
$40 for my block

This was the end result
EDIT- So believe me guys I know a bit what I'm talking about and I'll tell you that you WILL want to go bigger. So just do it right and get the 7" kit

 

the rough country kit is only $430 plus shipping to your door will put you around
right under $500 I think he paid around $480

 

Looks good. How much lift is that?

 

That's supposed to be a 5" but it sat at 4.5" those are 305/70/16's
