Default Lift question..

I plan on adding a skyjacker 6" lift rear leaf springs part # FR44S, and a 1-2.5" rancho quicklift suspension in the front part # RS999767. Is their a way in the front that I can make up the rest of the lift. As of now I have blocks in the front and rear.

yeah reason being is an actual lift is around 1500 - 2500. Don't have that kind of money laying around, I can't buy an actual lift over time, with spending 3-400 bucks a shot. Unless you know someone who sells lift parts individually.

The highest you can go up front without buying a lift kit is 3" which is the 3" leveling kit you already have. You would need a bigger spacer, new knuckles, new crossmembers, etc... All that comes with a lift kit.

the procomp kit used to be $1100.

you could also check the classifieds on this forum. thats how i got my lift. i paid $1200 + my stock spindles and wheels/tires for a procomp 6" lift with those fabtech reservoir shocks in the rear, side steps, 20" wheels and 35" tires. a used kit for our trucks is just as good as new because the only part on a lift kit that wears over time are the shocks. the bushings in the control arms and ball joints all stay stock, the lift wont replace any of that. the procomp kit wont even require you to do anything to the front coilover, just add a 6" spacer over it. so worst case scenario, if your shocks on your truck are good and the rears you get in a used kit are bad, all you have to replace would be the rears
