Ok guys, so I basically don't really know anything about suspension. I know more about my motor than I really know about suspension at all so I need some help. Situation is this...
My tires on my truck are going bald. I've known I was going to lift this thing since I bought it (last January). I really don't want to shell out money for new tires to then NOT lift and have to wait years for the tires to get run down and I don't want to just lose the the money I put into new tires by selling them so I'm on a tighter budget than I wanted...
I am 99.5 percent sure I want to go 6 inch lift with 37" Nitto Terra Grapplers (don't know if G2 or original cause I don't know the difference.) Probably stick with 18 inch rims (thats a whole other question, I know nothing about rims but know I need to go 10 inch wide for them right?)
So looking at lifts obviously ICON and Carli and stuff are up there with high price tags I probably can't afford. I was looking at BDS but I really can probably only afford the NON 4 link system. Then I was also looking at Zone who I've heard good things from with an attractive price tag...
I'm leaning towards Zone because BDS says the rear will sag without the springs and
A) I might not be able to afford the springs yet and
B) I've heard that BDS springs arent the ones you want anyways....
C) I really don't want a saggy rear...
SO down to the questions. If I went with a kit like zone...
1) How hard is it to switch the blocks to a rear leaf later on? (I think leafs would be better right?)
2) I've heard a bunch about how 4 link system is a lot better, is it? Do I want that? and how hard would it be to convert the system over to 4 link later after I get the money?
EDIT *** 3) What about BDS and getting different rear blocks so it doesn't sag? Would that also be an option? I just really like BDS warranty.
Basically I just need to get the truck in the air to put the tires on in the next 4 months or so around the price tag of hopefully around 4500 bucks? Doable?
I know the post is long but I could really use the help. Thanks guys. Happy football day. :thumb:
