4×4 lift question and advise.

[Slickburban]

Well I have an 88 suburban I want to put a lift on it but I don't know what's what do u guys know of a kit that's a straight install I don't want to buy a kit and then the kit doesn't include this or that price wise I've been looking at a rough country 4inch lift any help would be great. Thanks

I've got a Rough Country 4" lift on my 88 Suburban. The ride is not exactly smooth. It's not something I can't live with, but if I were to do it all over again, I'd save my money and get a Tuff Country lift instead.

I got the all spring lift, springs in the front and rear. It came with absolutely everything for $550. You will need new extended brake lines and you *might* need to lengthen your front driveshaft, (at least I did). The Rough Country 4" lift is actually around 5" tall because the springs are so thick and have such a high arch.

You must have run out of periods again.
So you can borrow some of mine ............................................................

Save yourself the hassle of doing it twice and avoid the Rough Country springs. Here are some affordable kits for your truck. The Tuff Country EZ rides are nice springs. I would order the cheaper kit with blocks and either run it like that or use a shackle flip from DIY4X.com

I just put a Zone lift on my 88 Blazer and it rides nice, better than stock I think. And it was cheap too. I did pitch the sway bar though which I'm sure helped (after the great advice from the good folks here).

This is for a half ton Burb, don't know if yours is half or 3/4.

I got the nitro shocks, not the hydro.

The plan still is to eventually trade the block in the back for a shackle flip, and upgrade to bilsteins, but for now I'm very happy.

BDS makes the Zone lift, i guess it's kinda their "wal mart" brand, but as I said, I'm extremely happy with it.
