What's a good size lift for my truck?

you won't get 4" for $500.

For that $$, you can level the front and body lift it.

If that's all then you probably will be looking at a body lift. Don't see many suspension lifts that cheap. you can get a 3 in bl pretty easy.

Leveling kit and a body lift is what you're looking at in that price range.

That's a nice 5" of lfit and you keep your factory ride/turning radius. I ran that combo for a long time and sometimes I wish I stayed with it.

Depends if you want the rake or not. The body lift is 3" all the way around. Up front, 2" will level it.

Sounds like these guys know what they are talking about bud. A body lift and level will look good!

Hate to jump in, but wouldn't a body lift leave a nasty gap that would be visible? Like a space between the bottom of the body and the top of the suspension that would be visible standing next to it?

I had body lift on my old truck and after I had it done I wished I would have gotten a leveling kit instead. Personally I think body lifts are good if you already have a suspension lift and want to go higher, but I'm not a fan of them if you just want to add a couple inches to stock height.

For 500 bucks you can get 6 inch coils and add a leaf ..... if it were a SFA
