Exclamation 2 Inch Lift Kit
What is the best 2 inch lift kit. The only question I have on the type is whether I should put blocks or an extra leaf on the rear suspension and I have already eliminated shackles. Does it even matter? Tell me what you think. Any input is greatly appreciated.

how much do you want to spend... it makes a huge difference, you can go cheap and be unhappy with the results or spend a little and love the outcome.

Thumbs up 2" lift options
Here are a few "home brewed" options, they fit well within your budget:

I first thought the shackles would add to much sway but looking at it now I don't want to lose my ride quality so I'm considering all the different lifts now to see which one fits what I'm looking for and best fits me. Thanks for all the replies they really helped me alot. I'm new to this and I need all the advice I can get. Thanks for the support
