I'm looking to get three inches of lift but I don't wanna buy a brand new lift kit until I have more money... So I was wandering what vehicle/s I could take the front springs and/or the rear leaf springs out of to get the lift that I am looking for???

Ok I'll hit the salvage yard on tuesday or wednesday, but might not come out with anything since there is only one salvage yard in the area and the owner likes to rip people off... and just on a lil foot note don't ever use Bert's towing when in the Hermiston, OR area, He will rip out your axles and **** up your rig anyway he possibly can just to get another vehicle in the yard
