best bet is to do something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...spagenameZWDVW

You won't need new shocks in the front and you can probably find some shocks off a stock z71 for cheap. That would look almost like my old setup on my truck:

That setup cost me:
Fabtech 3" spindles-$275
2" Coil Spacers(sat about 1" though)-$40
305/70/16 tires-$100
pro comp 16x8-$300
Shocks-$12.50 each

Everything I bought I got used in great condition. Basically I had that lift/rims/tires for <$800

 

thanks man, that is exactly what i am lookin for!! would i need the coil spacers if i got 4" spindles?

and that kit comes with blocks and longer u bolts to all i would need would be shocks.....

it is in my price range for sure and if that is what that maroon truck has that is the hieght i want mine at so this looks like what i will do....

 

and what is the overall diameter of those tires you ran? thanks.

 

They tires were 305/70/16. Something like a 11.5" tire.


Yea if you got the 4" spindles it would look almost identical to mine. I ran a 4" block though and it sat completely level(which seems weird to me). If I were you I'd run a 2" block.

Just know that I had to trim quite a bit to clear those. I think I would have had WAAY fewer problems if I ran 285/75/16's instead.

 

damn mark you musta done ALOT of trimming im just shocked that it fit those tires.

was that the actual kit you used on the ebay link? for the rear you said you used 4" blocks instead of the factory 4wd blocks? it appears that you are sitting level, thats def weird

 

are you doing this for looks, or are you going to baja it ?

 

No I didn't use that ebay kit. I was merely suggesting it. My kit was listed below the picture and was a 3" spindle 2" coil spacer. I bought the block separate with ubolts for $20 shipped. The front really only sat about 4.5" though.

In response to this: Every kit under $2500 is pointless to turn it into a prerunner. You need a longtravel setup with coil overs or at least the longtravel cst lift and to run those you need glassed fenders.

 

def. not baja by any means.....just want the truck to look more beefy thats all.....

 

ahh then just get the spindles. They go on pretty easy, and the front will still ride as if it's stock. Everything goes back in their stock positions.
