At least a 6" or larger lift for 01 Sonoma 4x4??
I'm interested in at least a 6" lift for my 01 sonoma crew cab 4x4. Wht company carries a lift that size or larger? Could someone help me out? I also plan to swap engines to a small bock 350 before I lift. I'm just figuring out everything before I start.

6" superlift.
You might look into a SFA if you want to go that big.

I second the SFA. More cost efficient if using for anything more than a mall crawler. Those who use their rigs after doing a standard 6" suspension lift, all seem to eventually look at going SFA.

I guess that all of the hard work and pain that others have endured following this path is for naught.

BDS is expensive I paid for it when I bought the truck they added it to the cost sota speak but it was well worth it to me. If I could post it on here I would if I knew how?! I'm new at this website and still trying to learn the ins & outs of all of this!! I got it!!
