I have a 96 4wd 4dr, any sugestions on lifts? prices? and tire size?

 

shackles ($50-100) and a tbar crank for 1.5" and a two inch body lift(around $150-200) all this for about $300. fit 31x10.5 tires. anythiung else your going to spend a lot of money on a 6in lift about $1800. I am putting shackles on my right now and doing a tbar crank. got the truck in the garage just have to get the darn eye bolts out of the leafs.

 

oh alright, thanks, i dont know if i want to do a body lift tho because on a couple blazers ive seen it look like crap with a 2 inch body lift, the frame shows to much.

 

they make gap gaurds u can buy, but cheaper to make and actually if u search in here there are alot of guys with body lifts and they look really good.

 

True, the gap guards help but you still see the frame quite a bit, i hate that about mine. Solution, clean your frame up, primer and paint it black and you will never notice it at all. As a bonus it makes it rust resistant.

 

Rcars2 your right about that, just painting it!!! Or you can be a smart a** and after painting it use a letter stencil on the sides and have it say your ricer belongs under here!!! lol

 

haha yeah gotta hate ricers, i mean i love cars but not rice, i also have a 2002 Grand Prix GTP thats running 11 second quarters. pontiac, good ole USA product! but on the other note, im also strapped for cash right now and am a full time student so dont really have time to do all the paint and stuff, any other ideas on lifts?

 

Honestly the paint isn't all that much if you get a couple cheepy rattle cans from the part store!!! Other than that get some black rubber or plastic from home depot or somewhere like that and make your own gap guards alot cheaper than buying them...

 

Well for lifts the cheapest ones are the tbars with add-a-leafs or shackles, or going with a body lift. The first of course is cheaper but has more issues associated with wear, thesecond is just a little bit more (whole kit costs about $230) but has no wear issues. Ideally i say get both and put some really big tires on your truck (33's fit with trimming and a sledgehammer, 31's with no trimming, 32's with minor trimming)

 

if you do the body lift, you could cover the frame with some tube step also. just an idea.
