Default lift my truck!

I'm looking to lift my '02, 4X4, auto and I'm having a hard time finding a kit. I don't have a crazy cash flow so I'm looking for a quality lift that is lower in price. Any ideas? Thanks.

A body lift is the only option available. About $300 if you install it yourself. A super lift susp. kit will probably run about 2 grand if you install it yourself.

We got the 1998-2000 body lift for my 2005 truck under 200 dollars.

Only spent an extra 20 dollars on supplies. Had to modify the fuel filler neck and needed a better pipe wrench to get off a body mount.

The fuel filler part that came in the kit was to small so we got a piece of pipe to use.

Here is what we came up with on my 05 for the fuel neck. We cut the hose in half then went to lowes and got a 4.5" long pipe threaded on both ends. it is 1" in diameter. Cost like 2 dollars

Now when on the truck we pushed it all the way till it was touching the stock metal part that comes down and then put the hose clamp right at the edge of the pipe. There is still at least 1.5" after the hose clam on the tank side
