V30 lift kit?

have a 88 V30 12,000lb GVW CC 6.2 SM465 NP205 D60 14bolt. Is there a company that makes a lift kit? About 4" or so would work out. The springs should be as heavy as possible because this is a full one ton with a heavy front mounted PTO winch.

Just a few of many sites that offers lift kits, either one of these kits are nice complete kits. ORD probably gives you a little better parts as far as the drop steering arm and other accessories. I ordered mine from SummitRacing, but only because i have been a customer of theirs for a long time. These are probably the most popular lift kits made, so you shouldn't have a problem finding one. And the springs that come with these kits usually exceed the strength of the stock springs your truck came with.


P.S. GVW is not how much your vehicle weighs, but the total loaded capacity it is rated to haul at once. With the front bumper and winch your truck should still only be around 7600-7900 lbs, which nowadays for a crew is relatively light. If you want to get some more springs for the front, most all the companies that sell the lift kits will have helper springs for the front and rear and they are pretty cheap. But guys drop Cummins in these trucks all day long and keep the same springs and I guarantee that a Cummins out weighs the 6.2 and whatever kinda bumper you have.
