6 in lift questons

[scheetz21]

im looking at used 6 in lift for 200 bucks and was wondering if thats good price and if you have to change anything like lengthen drive shaft? and if 6 is too much for dd? i will off road a little. its a 93 long bed 4x4 manual with 373s thanks in advance.

It all depends what it comes with. All brackets? Drop arm brackets or long arms? Coils? Drop pitman arm?

Mine has 6" lift and is my dd.

 

[--weezl--]

what brand also, 200 is a good price though

Like the guys said, depends on what you're getting.
Does it have shocks? Does it address steering? plate style or drop brackets?

If its a kit actual drop brackets then its definitely worth $200

Almost guaranteed it'll have the typical too-short drop pitman arm, so budget the extra $200 for the Skyjacker pt# FA600 drop arm if you want it to handle reasonably decent on the road (and not eat up your tires right away).

ya the guy said he dosent know if all parts are there. and shocks are shot. so i dont have to change anything with a 6 in besides longer brake lines? im thinking ill just buy a new and if i go 6 BDS?

I'd avoid BDS. They use a drop-plate bracket for the lift, which has been known to bust open the front diff housing. Skyjacker and James Duff both make quality lifts with full replacement brackets.
