Im going to be honest, Im only 18 and know very little about lift kits or suspension kits. So what i would like is for some help on making some decisions. I would like to make my 95 GMC 1500 4wd into a prerunner or at least somewhat close to one without spending a fortune. The problem is that i have not found any kits for my truck. Is there none available without going completely custom? I don't want to just lift my truck to the sky and stuff massive tires under it for good looks like many people my age. I want performance and looks!!

So please just give me your thoughts and opinions and let me know if i just have to settle for some blocks and new shocks.

Any help would be apreciated

Thanks matt

If money is the ieeue then, get some good shocks, get some good tires and head for the desert. You did say prerunner.  

Or you could run fiberglass fenders at stock height and run 35" tires.. with a good set of shocks.   

you arent going to find any "long travel prerunner" kits for your truck, but here are some suspension lifts.

The "prerunner" look will come from the bumpers, lights, skid plate, tire rack and such.. the fiberglass fender will help too.

Thanks for your help. Ill probably just get a suspension lift but instead of blocks in the rear should i get all new springs or does it really matter?  

New springs are better but blocks will work. You may want a traction bar to keep the axel wrap in check.  

I'd get lift springs in front and an ORD shackle flip kit for the rear, in my opinion. It isn't worth replacing the rear leafs if they are still good. I'd try to stay away from the blocks if I were you. Especially if you are looking for performance. Don't forget to do the brake line extensions, lifted steering arm or pitman arm replacement,  and rear axle pinion angle work too.  

Yeah I don't see any point in getting rid of the leaf springs either.  But for a beginner in off-roading.  Are you a beginner in off-roading?  Not trying to base your skill on your age.  I think you should take your truck out stock and wheel a little with it and see how far you want to take it.  Like get used to it stock.  I know you said that you don't want a huge lift with big tires but how high do you want it.  Any how what ever you do have fun and stay safe.   

I have done off-roading in my truck in a variety of terrain like rocks, snow, mud, and sand down in baja. But yes i would still label myself a beginner since my truck is fairly limited to what it can do and so am I. Yet it has really surprised me sometimes what it can do at the hands of an expierenced driver like my dad. As for a lift, no more than 6 inches since any taller would make it hard to get my quad in the back.    

Well then I say go for it.  I think what redbeast said sounds like a good idea.  But they are all good ideas.  I hope you don't feel offended I didn't mean anything by it.  I know thats how i would have felt.  Oh and I am only 21 so I am not an off-road expert either.   

I would agree with most that was said. Good set of tires and rear locker. Not a front.. I would guess that your truck has an IFS so that is really scary.  Some buddies with 4x4s. So you all can pull each other out and learn in the differant situations the wild can throw at you
