I just bought a 1999 Z71 K1500 from an older gentleman. One owner truck with all stock parts save for Flowmaster exhaust. I want to put a lift on it to achieve 3 things: 1. better stance, 2. ability to fit a larger tire (but keeping the stock rims), 3. more ground clearance.
With that in mind I do not want to: sacrifice the quality of ride, do anything that will cause more severe wear and tear on the parts, break the bank.
I'm thinking a 1.5" suspension lift with a 3" body lift? Or just a standard leveling kit and throw on the largest tires possible to raise the front end, get a more square stance, and give it more height?
Any advice is much appreciated as this is my first foray in to modifying an older 4x4 truck.
