davidh190 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi guys, I would like to get a 3" lift kit but I'm in a budget of $450. I saw the Rough Country kit for $330 but I want to know what suggestions you guys have. Once I obtain, is there additional parts that need to be upgraded or replaced? 1989 Comanche - Base Model Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Factory there is about a 2" rake to the truck. And 33" tires will fit on the rear with no lift. Id try focusing on the front first and tweak the rear if necessaey after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 DIY your own lift or go with Zone Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Build your own kit out of used parts or clearance parts. Build the suspension to suit your needs. 3" coils, shocks, Chevy1500 brake lines, discos or extended link and track bar, up front coupled with AAL or shackle and shocks in rear should come in under your budget with careful shopping.

ScottJeep Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 CL can be your friend. People are often leary about shipping but many will. Just have to show them you aren't a Russian hacker trying to get to their bank account. My full set of MOABs 16" wheels were less than $250. All from CL. But I digress. My lift is 2" Rusty's Coils, JKS ACOS, Rough Country gas shocks up-front. Full length Iron Rock AALs and Rough Country gas shocks in the back. Great start IMHO and the ACOSs leave me options to go higher easily. Purchased new longer brake lines, IMMMSC using Alexia's guide via RockAuto. The 2" coils were cheaper, the ACOSs were used but never USED via CL, and the RC shocks while FIRM were inexpensive but with a warranty and RockAuto can work if the leading chains are not close. Again, with a little work/patience/planning you can do it with good parts on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
