Could anyone point me in the direction of lift kits?

Any resources for affordable lift kits?

Looking for a 6" lift on my 87.

When I say affordable I mean bargain not cheap. I don't want to just toss some blocks and call it a lift. I am looking for a quality kit at a good price.

Any leads?

Thanks guys.
(and gals)

Thanks

Thanks for the link. I went and checked them out and it seems they are geared towards new or newer vehicles. Not saying they do not offer kits for my truck but if they do they didn't make it easy to find.

For the rear there is always the option of a shackle flip and 2in spring instead of a large block

I got mine from topguncustomz.com. They advertise their own brand lifts that are just parts of multiple different systems combined, so you can order whatever brand springs/shocks/blocks etc. that you like. It's priced cheaper this way, too.

I have been looking at blocks for the rear suspension. I do not plan on hauling much so I didn't think that I needed the rear spring upgrade. And I doubt the block add much to the kit price so if I end up changing my mind later on and upgrading the rear leaf springs I shouldn't be out much for the blocks. UNLESS I find a killer deal on a kit with the rear spring.

Thanks for the links. I will check them out right away!

The shackles look like a great option to consider and half the price of buying rear springs. They look a loot more sturdy than blocks as well.

Thanks for introducing me to the option.

Re: Could anyone point me in the direction of lift kits?

i used 4wheelonline to get my kit for my 1980 k35 main reasons
1. They were cheaper
2. They free ship 98% of the items they sale
i would recommend them cause its the same thing everyone else sells
