Lift kits

I'm looking to lift my truck, i want to get a 6" kit only because i dont want to have to mess with the driveshaft. Just wanted some imput on what you guys think. I dont want a kit thats just going to give me trouble, but i also dont want to break the bank. Whats a reliable/resonable priced lift? I have a 05 lly. Thanks

Any suspension lift is gonna run you atleast $1,200. And thats for the cheaper ones. If you want a really good kit that drops every component like it should and looks good under the truck then I would look into Cognito, they specialize in chevy IFS kits, from 6 to 16 inch lifts.

If you want a good kit that will perform well and not break the bank... RCD is the best bang for your buck.... Fabtech is another good one, but to get it the same quality as the RCD you will be about $200-$300 more than RCD..... it comes with a great finish, very strong components, and gas charged bilstein shocks, which are worth every penny.....

I have to 2nd that on the RCD kit. I am a RCD dealer here in Arkansas and among all the kits I sell (Fabtech, Superlift, Rancho, BDS, Skylifter, RCX, and Tough), RCD has them beat in quality and ride hands down. Your rig will ride better than factory!
