It`s been asked alot about what the cheapest way to get some lift under your truck.This didn`t cost me a dime and I didn`t get any dirt in my eyes.Didn`t know you could get old-style rims in 20s,did ya?

The cheepest is to get front spring packs and rear blocks & a body lift if you need more tire clearance.
Now is that the best way to lift an offroad truck...no but it works and it is the cheepest way and still being safe about it..

)Nah heck,this is Honest John`s Used Car Sales here.Can I interest you in a truck that was only driven to church on sunday by a little old lady?

Ok Honest John now tell them the little old lady had a 20 mile driveway that was only knee deep in mud 348 days a year. She only missed a few Sundays church services from the crick being deeper than the air cleaner most Sundays church services that she missed was from the rock slides that brought down boulders to big for the truck to climb over. She also had 14 kids that took turns driving the truck the other 6 days a week. LOL!!!
Still a sharp truck.

Oh yeah,that.I didn`t lie,I just failed to mention a few details.Hey!If a president can do it...

...What ever happened to buyer beware????Jeez

eedgell · 07-28-2007, 12:35 AM

What about going to a spring shop for a little re-arch? Not a whole lot of lift, but a new lease on life.

**special-K** · 07-28-2007, 11:52 PM

I asked for some lift and this is what they gave me
