4" Lift Help

Hey guys I have a high school student here looking for a 4" lift for his truck. Any suggestions? Best place to buy? Thanks a bunch, if it was a jeep I would know already. He wants it relatively cheap.

It is for 1978 Chevy K10.

Thanks in advance....

Re: 4" Lift Help

Is it a long wheelbase or short? That may make a difference for him. I am sure that there are a ton of options.
PS: Where in CO are you?

It is the short wheel Base.

I am currently teaching in Hayden, CO then will be in Rangely next fall.

I joined the site a while back when I got a 72 3/4 ton 2wd.

Re: 4" Lift Help

i'd go to www.ntwonline.com they usually have specials on superlift softride's for around $300-389 or so, blocks in rear, springs up front, and also comes with shocks...only need to buy the raised pitman arm for around $55 and thats all

this was my last 4x4, a 86, it had a 4" lift and 35's on the stock rallies

Re: 4" Lift Help

JC Whitney had the cheapest prices I found when I was shopping for a lift. Check online and you can get promo codes for free shipping or a discount off the total.

Re: 4" Lift Help

If there is a 4 Wheel Parts location near you it could save on shipping. . . I got my 4 inch lift for the '79 from them. . . . no problems/complaints
