I just have the urge to raise my Mighty Max up like 2". It just sits too low for a truck even with the bigger tires. Whats the best and cheapest way to go about it. And I think id want a suspension lift, not a body lift.

Who makes kits?

Cheapest would be a body lift. Best way would be a suspension lift. If you're doing it just to accomodate the bigger tires and/or for looks, you might as well stick to a body lift. If you're actually looking for an improvement in performance and possibly taking it offroad, the suspension lift is the way to go. Not sure what brands out there offer a kit for your truck though.

I agree completely, however, finding either for that trucks gonna be tough...

Id honetly want the extra ground clearance, this sit like a box chevy car. I dont ever plan on taking it off road cept to ride some easy trails.

I dont think it's worth it in your case to get a suspension lift unless you find it really cheap. I wouldn't do a body lift to my own truck, but I wouldnt have a MightMax in the first place either. So i think you'll be fine

Does it have coil's in the front and leaf springs in the back if you have that kinda setup you can do coil springs spacers and shackles in the back for under $50 and maybe some new shocks.You can come up with that setup to at any advance auto.

yea its coils and rear leaf springs. Shackles id be comfortable with, spring spacers, id rather not go that route.
