Default What do I look for in a lift??

Hey guys I am new to the forum and I was wanting to get a lift and 35's on my truck but I was wanting to know what should I look for in the lift such as crossmember replacement or just cool springs and spacers??? I am totally lost!! Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Look at BDS and they will have everything you need and with a lifetime no fine print warranty you can't go wrong. I had a rough country lift on my last truck and it sucked cause I had nothing but problems with it because I cheaped out for a few hundred bucks.

Try Zone it's their sister company so they should be pretty close and cheaper.

Ok but some lifts will lift it different ways such as just coil springs and some have the cross member in the front but how do I know which one i need?

I looked at the zone but it doesn't have coil springs for the front so is that good or bad?

Normally to fit 35s you need a full lift kit with the cross members and new shocks.

No Zone should have a 6" lift for you.
