Need a 6" lift?

Hey all I am from Texarkana area. I just bought a '95 1-ton 4x4. It came with a 6" super lift and 3" body lift already installed on it. I drove it home from Ohio pulling a 16' car hauler with my Dodge 1500 on it. It did fine the whole way as far as the ride and everything goes. The reason I want to get rid of it is because it was never my intent to keep it like that. I just want my truck returned to stock height to go along with my brand new stock size tires I bought while in Ohio. The deal that I have is for someone with a 3/4 or 1-ton truck that wants this lift is to trade me for their stock lift. I'm not asking for any money, nor am I willing to pay any. I believe this would be a good deal for both parties and a good chance for someone that wants a lift to get one without having to dish out the money. I have a shop where we can do it up here or I will even travel as far as the Dallas area if someone has the facilities. If you're interested then send me a PM. I will leave the link below to some pics that I took after I got it home. Thanks.

Levi

I forgot to mention that the body lift is going with it. Also, I think it will fit years 94-01.

Should fit through '02... any idea what brand of lift? DIY?

In the front,I saw lift coils, track bar drop bracket (how many inches) and end link lift brackets (how many inches), no sway bar drop blocks, longer control arms (adjustable?), OEM pitman arm? and strap limiters (how much slack?).

Out back, overloads removed & lift leaves, OEM lift blocks - longer shocks or drop brackets?

Need a set of OEM cab & bed mounts or are yours add-on?

Wow I guess I am a bit out of my league with this lift. All I know is that it is a 6" Superlift. It has Superlift coils and front and rear shocks. As far as the play goes there aint much. I was pulling that blue truck at 70 mph from Ohio once I got out of the mountains. There is a little bit as there is with any lift but I was used to it by the time I got to Nashville.

I meant wander. It's normal for a truck with a lift. Maybe it was just me but I've never driven a lifted truck that steered as tight as a stock one. Sorry for the late post. I still have the lift and need the stock set-up. Any ideas? I will even buy one if I have to and then sell mine later. Thanks.
