Default Lifts?

Okay so Ive gotten a summer job and I want to lift my truck. What is your suggestions on suspension lifts and about how much do they cost? Also what size tires and what type would look best? thanks.

Well then off u get new torsion keys and crank them, then block the back u can fit 35's under it. And it's cheap to do.

Yeah but problem with that is the
Bumpers don't move. So there's a big gap between the truck and bumpers and yes u can fit bigger tires under up you won't get a as good of off road Clarence with a body lift. At least not in the front and back because the bumpers again, don't move

Oh and my take on suspicion lifts. Like you asked! I think they are severely over priced and unless ur have one kick *** summer job u won't be able to afford the lift and the bigger tires. 6" lift about $1000 plus installation about $800 plus new bigger tires which can range from about $800-$2200 depending on... Brand. Mud or all terrain. And size.
