2500 lift question

[tiger9297]

I have an '08 2500 quad cab. The truck has fender flares and LT325 tires on 20" rims. It has a leveling kit, but I really think it needs a small lift with these tires. I just think it would look a little better. I have seen some kits that offer a something like a 4" lift in the front and a 2" lift in the rear, or a 5" lift in front and 3" in rear, etc. etc. Is there anyway I could add 2-3 more inches to the front in addition to the leveling kit that is already there and then add 3" blocks in the rear? OR would I just have to remove the leveling kit and add an entire lift kit in front and rear? This is basically cosmetic so I don't care to have the greatest lift out there. I see prices in the $500 range all the way up to $2,000+. Suggestions?

Tupelo that is cool I use to live in Corinth for a few years up by pickwick. I actually have family that lives in Tupelo. Are you looking into suspension lifts or would you be interested in a body lift? Also will you be doing the istall yourself or taking it to a shop to install?

I was thinking about a suspension lift. I have never really liked a body lift. I guess if there were a body lift out there that didn't LOOK like a body lift, I would consider it. I always think about seeing the 90's Z71's with body lifts and being able to see right through the rear fender, under the bed and out the other side. I'm not much on that look.

Also, I would be taking it to a shop. I really don't have the patience for it, and my truck is already a little too tall to fit in my shop as it is.

You can add a 2" spacer up front (I just took mine out yesterday) off the top of my skyjacker 5" susp lift. And you can add a 1 1/2 Add a Leaf to the back. I have the spacers and rear leafs if you decide to go that route.

It is highly recomended to not use spacers with a suspension lift. Because of the suspension geometry a 2" spacer could give you more then 2" of lift with the lift kit
Since your just looking to fit your bigger tires I would go with the rough country 5" lift.
Try getting ahold of MPC here they can hook you up with a pretty good deal as well

I think its sad when people skimp in this area. IMO. The is part of what dictates the ride of your truck. A RC will give you the lift with no issues, I would look into the pure performance kits and some 5100 shocks.

Anchorage is a long way from Tupelo. Alaska looks like a beautiful place, but it's just too cold there for me. I like to visit snow, but I don't want to live in it. Tupelo is a great place to live. We have been here for 10 years now, and love it. I was born and raised in MS, so I love this area anyway, but Tupelo really is a great place to raise a family.
