 Subject: How to lift?
IP: Logged
Message:
Hi, I have a '99 4x4 club cab w/5.2L v-8 and I was wondering, since i dont know much about lifting is if I can put 2" lift blocks on the back and coil spacers in the front to get a 2" lift? I dont want to lift the body and im limited to about $100-$150 so any ideas? Thank you.

You can do a body lift , 3in. , or crank up your torsion bars and add a 1in. block in the rear to even it out and gain about 2in. overall.

It also depends on if u want to have it installed or not. Im guessing that with your budget you want to do it yourslef instead of paying labor charges

Did you read my entire response?!
You could do a body lift (cheap)....OR...
you could turn your torsion bars to level the front end , and add a small (1-2in) block in the rear of the truck , depending on how high you want it to be (EVEN CHEAPER).
There is no such thing as a CHEAP (as in $$$) susp. lift for our Dakotas.

If i get lift blocks for the rear im correct in saying I need the round u-bolts as opposed to square u bolts? If i get 2" lift blocks and raise the front torsion bars to get like a 1 1/2" lift out of em should I be ok?

No, your not changing the axle or springs, you’re just putting a spacer between them. You need longer square U-bolts.
