lift kits

I have resently bought a 1993 GMC Sierra K3500 6.5 turbo diesel 4wd pick up (4w not a dually) and I would like to install a 3inch body lift kit on it as I really do not want to lift it up to high and figured that would be the least expensive way of doing it, but so far all I have come up with all state not for use with a diesel engine! My questio is does anyone out there now of a Company who does make one or maybe an other way of lifting it with out it costing an arm and a leg?  

Body lifts are not always the best thing to do becuse the put a lot of things out of alignment starting with the radiator and the engine driven cooling fan. My guess is that there is seriuos issues in the engine compartment with a 6.5 truck body lift. Myself if I wanted a 3 or 4 inch lift with that style truck I would do a proper suspension lift that lowers front diff and repositions the front control arms too. I can see a small body lift sometimes but 3 inches is too much for me and the misalignment issues it will cause.

I have a 96 Z71,I turned up the torsion bars and put 2" blocks in the rear it's simple yet affective, longer front shocks are sometimes needed.It will ride stiffer and also need to be alinged but has worked for me.Some people don't like this way but when you put a plow on these trucks most shops do it too.Doing this gave me enough room for 33x12.50 bfg at's on an 8" rim. You can always crank up the front and see, if it doesn't work crank it back down to stock,I know alot of people who have done it w/ no problems.

The problem with cranking the Tbars is that it places you near the top of the downward wheel travel and that can lead to a choppy ride on a road with holes in it as the body pitchs down sharply as suspension tops out.

I know what your saying but I don't have that problem.Here in Pa. we're not known for great roads,still no problems,especially after they're lined up.  

You will feel it on the right road and at the right speed. You want bad roads, take a trip to Wyoming or parts of Montana or even some places in Colorado where main roads are dirty and or gravel and rarely smooth. (Wyoming is known for "main" dirt roads that can get nasty when it does decide to rain)

I got em in the mountains of Pa.too and the "main roads" through the jersey pines  

Maybe but ill beat that they do not go 50 to 75 miles or more between one horse towns and gas stations (which is possible on some "main" roads out there)

that snow plow truck probably doesnt have those problems because the snow plow probably weighs down the front end some and the shops crank the t-bars to help keep the front end at stock ride height with the snow plow on  

I do not have that problem with my K3500, It sinks less than a inch when I lift up a heavy 8 foot Fisher. If you have the proper suspension to begin with, you do not need to crank the bars to make it work and you do not want the front end going high pushing either because you have cranked up a soft suspension to level it when in carry.
