05 z71 crew cab 4x4

i've had her for about two months and i love it. i went from my first car(a 99 ford escort lol) to this. i want to raise her up a few inches but i also dont have a surplus of money. anyone have any input on an affordable way to lift? i was thinking shackles and tb crank.

Welcome, pretty nice colorado there.

Well the cheapest way to get an inch or two of lift would be a TB crank and some shackles, But then after the tb crank you'll need an alignment done obviously unless you can ignore screwy steering/quickly warn tires. You can get cheap shackles from autozone for around $20.

Welcome, nice truck. I grew up in Lockport. I cruise thru there everyonce in a while. Maybe I'll see you around.
