Does it look like a 6 inch lift with 32's? Seems a little high, maybe a 4.5?

Looks like 5". Fenders aren't trimmed, makes it look bigger

Welcome! I live not far from you on the border of Saugatuck. Looks like 5" to me; maybe a little overpriced but not to much.

Maybe... Hard to tell but it looks like a 8.25 to me.

Looks like an 8.25 to me too, the diff looks pretty flat on the bottom. Since it's a 2000 that means it has the 29 spline which is almost as strong as the D44.

As for the lift, looks like a 5ish" lift. I'm sitting at 6.5"on 32's and it looks a little bit shorter. If you're going to look at it (again) you can measure from the center of the hub up to the bottom of the fender flare to know for sure. Stock height is usually 17-17.5" in the front.

I think the price is pretty decent. It looks clean, has a lift, good wheels/tires, dope custom bumpers and as you said, no rust. If it's a long arm lift then it's a great deal, but maybe try to talk the seller down just a smidge.

A couple things I would ask: is there a full sye or hack n' tap installed already? Cv driveshaft? If not you may get some vibes.

You mean trimmed fenders would make it look bigger....

How many miles on it?

It looks like an 8.25 to me too. That thing has some goodies. The JCR bumpers are a plus. Stock steering is a negative. It has an adjustable TB right?

I'd say it's not a bad price if it runs and drives well

Don't know if you noticed the dent in the rear hatch by the third tail light, across the top. Just pointing it out if you're thinking of buying.

I like the front and rear bumpers! Anyone know where I can get a set similar to these? Look simple and clean!

Looks like possibly JCR's gen 1 front and rear bumpers. Either way JCR sells a front and rear that looks alot like that.
