Very true.

I have a RE 3.5" Super Ride with full leaf packs. Best all around bang for the buck, IMO. I had a 3" "budget lift" that I ran for a year prior to the RE.

With whatever you decide on, do your self a favor and use quality parts (stay away from blocks, AAL's...etc).

I had a ProComp 3.5", and it was the absolute biggest piece of junk I have ever owned.
I now have Rusty's Long arm 4.5", and I ama very happy camper.

The Pro Comp will kill your ride, casue the steering to wander, and make your woman mad.

I'll put my vote in for Rusty's. I have the 4.5" now but had the 3" on mine and have had no problems with either one.
