Good but not too much? Whats your idea of not too much, and whats your idea of good.

Anything from Rough country to Iron rock to staangs to bds to zone offroad could fall into that category.

 

Would it possible to get a 6" lift installed fo around 1500. I live in the Austin, TX area

Thats your best bet along with control arm drop brackets. Higher quality kits are 2000$ plus.

with 6 inches you'll need an SYE and drive shaft too.

That kit comes to 1589$ US with a SYE, rear DS and control arm drop brackets.

 

x2,heard nothing but gr8 things about clayton

 

How would it drive on the HWY? Where can I get roof rack with a ladder also? thanks

 

Hes not in the correct pricepoint for that.

 

That kit with the lowered drop brackets will ride close to stock.

As for a roof rack I'm not entirely sure, i'm having one built.

 

Do not skimp on the lift, the more you pay, the happier you'll be. If you pay $150 for a 6" lift, expect a couple thousand dollars worth of headaches. Pay a couple thousand for a good quality lift and expect NO problems.

 

Indeed, quality lift kit with LA will be 2500$, plus a few hundred for SYE and DS and you're good for several years without any issues.
