Hi guys, I need help to lift my truck. If anyone has photos or drawings of how it works, I appreciate it.

bucannon · 11-08-2011, 09:32 PM

do you want to lift it with spindles?

if so ive done somewhat of a write-up when i installed mine:

if you dont want to do that much work you can use 1 ton springs to gain about 3 inches

if you ever have any issues feel free to contact me as i have become somewhat of an expert on this topic in researching and experimenting with my lift

why do you wanna LIFT a 2wd 1/2 ton ??
im not being a jerk im just really curios

bucannon · 11-12-2011, 07:14 AM

not being critical but when lowering you lose suspension travel, and sometimes people like the look and the ride of a truck in the air as opposed to being on the pavement. i like lowriders but whats wrong with something different haha.

ground clearance. larger tires. suspension travel.

Hello, I'm car designer and taught me that every vehicle should have benefits for which it was built. The trucks were made to travel long distances and difficult terrain, so the height is very important, besides being aesthetically harmonious. Later I'm thinking of converting to 4wd, to be more truck. Thank you very much for your interest.

Everything is possible my friend, in Buenos Aires parts are not got as easily as in the U.S., but abound people trained to perform the jobs that elsewhere in the world are simply impossible ....
