best way to get a lift

oic. but with new coils i would need new uc's.

so i am feeling like i should just stick to setting my front to 2.5 and adding on 33's later to give it a full 3.5 inch lift.

or around there.

 

You don't need new UCAs with coils. Aftermarket UCAs are nice to have because they help get the camber within spec.

The easiest & cheapest thing in your situation is to set your shocks to 2.5 and be done with it. Lots of folks run that exact setup.

 

oic.

hey what kind of lift do u have D?

 

I remember my auto teacher last year told me, the actual cheapest way to do a lift, although I would not trust it. Bring the truck into a shop, remove the cab-frame bolts, lift the truck, get maybe 6-8 hockey pucks, drill the right sided holes out, get longer body-frame bolts and put the pucks on the bolts and bolt in between the cab and the frame. Now he is a comical guy but he said he did it back in the day. Costs what maybe 15 bucks? Now I'm sure there are some down sides to this, but I doubt the puck would ever have much problem staying together.

All being said, not serious. As stated below, not reliable, not comfortable, more of a joke if anything. That is the only time I've heard of it.

 

i appreciate ur contribution.

but i think that would be unreliable and give a horrific ride.

 

When I'm feeling down and need a lift, I usually get a buger and chocolate shake.

I feel very lifted after this. Thank you very much.

 

Camburg Coilovers up front and Alcan AAL in the back.

 

wow how much did that cost you? seems like it would cost u a grip.

but it looks great!

 

oh ya one more question.

if i got this and set my shocks to the lowest setting and raised the coilovers to 3.5 would that work?

and add an AAL to the back to level it out a bit.

 

It cost a bit of money -- but a helluva lot more if you consider how many times I changed out shocks, etc.

Do it right the first time if you think you're always going to want more.

 

3.5 would be too hight -- would hurt your CV joints... 2.5 is all ya really need. LonghornTaco had his initially set too high and he later adjusted them down.

 

ya the reason why i keep asking all these questions is because i feel like 2.5 is good. but i want to 3inches.

for looks and for tire space to feet 33's i heard if i have 2.5 them im going to have to cut some tire in order for it to fit.
