The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

They'll fit 6 lug 2500 4x4s but not 8 lug.

Perfect thanks!

A lot of the people that have the RCX lifts will generally tell you that the 2" isn't worth it.

I haul a truck bed camper so i don't want it too high.
I want it level, plus maybe an inch, and I'll be happy.

The 2-3" kits are good for the advertised 2-3" lift.

If your truck is already cranked up 2.5" and you expect the kit to get you an extra 3"... you're going to have a bad experience with it.

2-3" of lift can be achieved without a kit, bit it's going to ride like a brick and wear out the front end. The 2-3" kit more or less just fixes the angles that go along with cranked stock suspension.

This is correct ^^
Most of your 2-3" kits will come with a 1" diff drop, new UCAs to correct ball joint angle and alignment, and torsion keys.

First off, great forum here. I have had some good advice so far, thank you.

I put a 6" tuff country suspension lift on my 1994 crew cab dually 4x4 and now I'm contemplating a body lift as well. I was initially thinking of a two inch body lift but should I just do three inches? What's a good company to go with? I want to get the bumper brackets etc.

What do you guys think? Here's my truck as it sits now...

Also, does anyone have any pics of a truck with six inch suspension and three inch body lift combined?

I put a 3" BL on my C2500. I picked up a kit from Summit racing that was low cost and worked out great.

I don't care if this is a stupid question but do/can more parts wear with a lift on a 4WD truck than a 2WD truck?

yes

2wd trucks have less to break.
