Can you ever consider used take off lift kits?

Figured I'd ask as I get updates for sale on my local kijiji and this came up.

I wouldn't. For the small upcharge for a new lift it's a no brainer for me.

If had for $1k canadian or $800 US I had to ask. Hell it could be even cheaper who knows. Either way if it really was $1900 US or $2400 Canadian new thats a heck of a discount. I just wasn't sure if it was worth a look or not.

Thx

Nope, too much risk of ending with worn (or missing parts) with no warranty or reach back to the manufacturer.

It’s the same answer as considering the purchase of anything used, just like a used truck. What is the condition, and what is the discount vs new price? It’s not being bought to put on a brand new truck, after all.

As said above you take the same chance as buying anything used. My biggest concern would be getting all the small parts and hardware that is needed. Generally you can get the install instructions and double check all the parts.

No, with a full kit I wouldn't, I rather spend the extra few hundred and know I have something new and piece of mind to go with it ...
