A guy currently has this lift kit for sale

Now this lift says it only works on 69-72 trucks but could this work on a 73-87 truck?

What's he asking for it if you don't mind me asking? Reason I ask, you can buy a rough country 4" for like $300.

Well first off I'm in Canada so pricing is most times double what you guys pay. Second this comes as a complete kit with shocks and such.

A kit from Zone Offroad is $499 before taxes but that doesn't come with shocks.

The guy is asking $400.

I'm not sure how your import purchases and such work. But Rocky Mountain suspension has the rough country lifts with shocks for a little over $300. Makes no difference to me. I'm sure they skyjackers ride better. Just wanted you to be aware of the price of the rough country if you were indifferent to brand.

Rough country doesn't have a great ride but you're driving a lifted truck so you can't get a very good ride really, they're lifts are priced nice and they're pretty nice kits.

The leaf spring and shackles lengths may be slightly different but that isn't that hard of a fix and does the kit come with a taller steerig arm that goes to the pitman? If so I don't know if those would be the same either

Actually you can have a lifted truck that rides good, but anywho, the earlier trucks have shorter front springs and the kit won't work with the '73-'87 trucks.
