ok so Im going to lift my truck, but what should I get to make it easier for myself.

in what order should I install them?
-3' Suspension
-3' BL
-shackles
-tbar


And about shackles, what are they?Should i buy them to get any easy lift? (im new to trucks)

should I crank my t bars a bit to raise a bit higher?

Thanks in advance, sorry about all the questions.

where did i put feet in the order? Im not that ignorant, I obviously know/ and you know I mean inches. Must I write that? I figured most would know or infer, its only cs.

Shackles will raise the rear up and you can get anywhere between one to three inches in the front by cranking your torsion bars. I got two and a half out of mine and could have gotten a little bit more if I wanted it.

Body lifts are cheap but they don't give anymore ground clearance. They are usually used if you need clearance for bigger tires.

Suspension lifts are more expensive, but are also more functional if you do any offroading.

It all depends on what you use your truck for and how much you are willing to spend.

I'm curious as to why you want shackles if you're planning on getting a complete 3 inch lift. unless you like your vehicle to sit like a drag car.

and you will get new bars with said lift. but they don't give you any lift FYI

 

[Irongrave]

are you going to be adding a winch/bumper to the truck if your not you really don't need stiffer bars. Body lifts are totally pointless on an IFS truck as you can't do a true tummy tuck and gain ground clearance (they make room or larger tires but you can get the same clearance with a saw) If you're planning on 33s or larger you will need to address the weak steering and if you're going to say a 35in tire you'll want to look into axle and t-case gears.

at the end of the day what are you looking to do with your truck?

What are you going to do with your truck is exactly correct. If you're doing some light wheeling and want bigger tires without stuffing the wheel wells, then crank up the t-bars to level the truck a little without killing the travel. If that isn't enough then a 2"-3"body lift will make more room for bigger tires. As Drew said, a body lift will only give you tire clearance, it's the bigger tire that gives you the ground clearance. If you're going crazy off roading and rock climbing then it's a complete suspension package for you.

I've run body lifts in a few different trucks with bigger tires (33's), but only did light wheeling in trails and on the beach, and never had any trouble.

ok thanks. Primarly Ive always wanted a lifted truck, but were I live there isnt hills, its all flat land. The only thing i do is mudding. I think ill just go with a BL and maybe tweak the tbars a bit.

i would do a suspension and ditch the body lift

 

[jaxon1023]

I would do both!

Sounds like a good plan but watch out, once you get the bug, its hard to stop. As always, we want pictures.

If you search on here a little bit you can find info about how to piece together a body lift for under $100 and save some money.

I did a 3" body lift and rancho 2.5" suspension lift. the ride is nt bad for a truck lifted that high. but the aal makes my truck sit higher in the rear. I am running stock size tires right now. I'll be running 33's in the future. I found the body lift almost easier to do than the suspension.

actually you did say feet, you said 3' which is 3 feet, 3" is 3 inches

lift

This is what my grandson wants to do also. He wants a 3" suspension lift. What brand is best and where would be best to get it? Also is there a kit that has everything you need with it? Now all I want is 3" not a 3' lift. LOL Just kidding!
