lift and suspension Question

[sweetpeet]

I'm wondering if it matters if I buy the suspension before the lift or the lift before the suspension? does the suspension differ based on the hight of the viehicle? do you know what I mean??

The various components you buy will determine the amount of lift you achieve in most cases. For instance, if you want 2-3" of lift, you can purchase new coilovers, a coilover spacer, or a body lift. But depending on what you intend to use your truck for will determine what is best for you.

What are you intending to do with your truck? Are you looking to fit a certain tire size, just change the stance, get better off road performance? What particular model do you have?

????? umm will certain lift kits replace factory parts to improve the suspension for better offroad capabilities....so i guess if you do the lift then suspension will be included....may want to try re-wording your question and give details on what you are going after....

ok i'm sorry it seems that I have not gone in to enough detail, so let me re-word what i'm saying.
I have an all factory frontier xe and i'm looking to put bigger tires on(32") for offroading. the 32's wont have enough space between the fenders therefore i'll need a lift. also my suspension has become complete crap, so I need to change that too. I know absloutly nothing about suspension or lifts so I was wondering if the hight of my lift affects the size or kind of suspension I get.
o and i'm asking this because i have done some pricing and it looks like buying suspension and lifts seprately. I want to buy the suspension first because its cheaper and I can have more time to save for a lift without my suspension sucking.

or am I just a big idot because its cheaper for me to buy a suspension system? (i hope not lol)
