    Need recommendations on a 6" lift kit for a 1999 GMC K3500 ?
    Not sure the difference btw the various brands.

    It will be a work truck. Dragging a trailer most days.

    I really wouldn't lift it but if you are going to do it procomp would be my choice. They are not cheap though.

    You should be able to run 35 with a leveling kit. Might need cut out fender flares but they are not bad to install.

    Ahhh you have the classic body style? Thought you had the round body style, you will need a lift to fit 35+. Procomp or BDS would be my choice.

    Oh yeah. 454 gas guzzler. Its going to be a fun project - she's a diamond in the rough. Paid $800 for it, runs great, 151k miles.
    This is her the day I got her. I took the nasty roll bar off and put a black toolbox on and got a winch bumper for the front. New grill kit. Going to have to do something about that front end and new wheels. People I got it from had the torsion bars maxed out and destroyed the front end. Figured I might had well go back with a lift and do it right since I got so little invested. Going to add some tow mirrors, gooseneck hitch, and some tint on those windows and she'll be ready to start making me some money.

    Work truck? You need to ditch that pickup bed and get a service body.

    Service body + gooseneck = destroyed service body = huge waste of money

    Lift kits and towing don't go hand in hand.

    Power loss from larger tires doesn't complement the situation either. That's just my 2 cents though
