I've done all I can to talk myself out of lifting my truck, but it's killing me not being lifted. The look is just too appealing. That being said, I know next to nothing about lifts, and I'm a college student on a budget. I've currently only got a leveling kit on her.
The truck in question is a 2006 Chevy 2500HD DURAMAX 4x4.
I really like this look:
From what I've read, once you get past a 6" lift, you have to start upgrading major parts such as steering and drive shafts, so I think I'll keep it at a 6" lift. I have been throwing around the idea of an 8" but I need an idea of how much that'll bump up the cost.
So next I looked into brands, and saw the most recommended were fab tech, cognito, and rough country.
So first question: what brand have you personally ran, and what was your experience?
Second: what's the difference price and parts wise on 6" and 8" lift?
Third: Would I be better off doing lift blocks rather than a lift kit?
Fourth: biggest tires I'd be able to run under a 6" lift, or 4" block lift?
I know these are probably basic questions but I know nothing about what I'm getting myself into and would love to educate myself.
