Anything that'll lift a 01+ coilspring 2wd, will lift your truck. Manufacturers just havn't updated their years yet.

Fabtech has a 5.5" system. You can just do spindles to get 3" of lift. (Maybe it's 3.5...i dont remember).


I vote suspension instead of bodylift...you truck is cheap to lift.

If you can do wheel bearings you should be able to do the lift. The lift comes with instructions, and if your going to order from Jim email him first to make sure he's got a kit, he's been saying he's having a hard time getting fabtech stuff.
