The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

What is the height differnece between a C1500 and a K1500? I have a C1500 and want the height of a 4WD.

The K1500 trucks look about an inch or so higher to me. A small block in the rear and a coils in the front will get you what you want...something like this http://roughcountry.com/chevy_2wd_88-98_2.html

Is 600 a good deal on a used Procomp 6" lift and does the same lift fit RCLB and ECLB?

Depends on the condition and if everything is there. It will fit any body.

the body type makes no difference, what matters is the lug count, a 6 lug lift is for 6 lug only, 8 lug is 8 lug only, the 8 lug trucks had different bracket spacing from the 6 lug.

procomp is one of the brands that many people had problems with, for the life of me i cant remember what the issue was

Thanks for all the info! I may just wait and get the RC lift. Here's the picture of the truck that the procomp lift is coming off of.

Won't 4" spindles really mess with my driveshaft angles to the point of being detrimental?

Can Bilstein HD shocks accommodate 2" blocks in the back?

If you're using lift spindles then you don't have a driveshaft to worry about in the front.

If you're using lift spindles then you don't have a driveshaft to worry about in the front.

Not a front driveshaft, just the main one. The logic behind this being, if the front is 4" higher, then the back of the trans is probably at least a couple inches higher, while the rear diff isn't any higher, but is that enough to wear out ujoints faster? Or am I missing something here?

 

[dirtyhick42]

you didn't raise the rear of the truck so your driveshft angle is nearly identical to what it was before. You do't have to worry about your rear driveshaft at all until you go way higher than a 2 inch block in the rear
