Hey Guys,

I am new to this forum. I am looking to put about a 10-12 inch lift on my 2003 2500HD Chevy. It has a 8.1L 496 with 6SPD manual tranny. I have searched and searched for a good lift but I cant make heads or tails of whats good or not. I found that Superlift has a 12" kit for about $1,600 but that just seems like its way underpriced. Is this pretty accurate? If anyone knows anything I'd greatly appreicate the thoughts!

Thanks,
Rodeo

what are you tring to accomplish with the lift?  is it a 2wd or 4wd?  what kind of offroading are you going to do if any?  Rize has a 10 inch kit also.  Make sure that the kit has everything you need...brake lines, rear lift, emergency brake extensions, front axle spacers, steering, ABS extensions, front driveshaft.  also find used trucks with the lift that you choose and ask lots of questions and even a drive if possible...used car lots are prime if you can find lifted trucks on them.    
thanks for the help tri-county gear!!
