Default $500 lift

Okay, I'm trying to get a lift for my 91 shipped to my door for 500. My rear leafs are basically curved the wrong way so I'd like a kit with new leafs. I'd like to get 3". I think what I need is coils, rear leafs, shocks. Will I need to do anything like drop the TC or move the trackbar for this lift?

also, I saw this but perhaps its junk and I don't think that I could use my shocks. What do you guys think?

The 3" rough country lift w/ option of new springs is 509. plus shipping is pushing it, but that might be my best bet.

Any input is appreciated, hopefully I'll get this lift put on by next month.

Call Rough Country. They will give you a better price.

eh... That lift looks like a waste of money. You don't want a add a leaf if your rear springs are frowning. I'd say go with RC. And no 3" you don't need a TC drop.

Good deal. I left Jason a message (he's on vaca this week) and I also called Jim at Morris and left a message. We'll see what kinda deal I can get.

I would bet you can get the $509 kit with rear springs for under $500 shipped if you say pretty please. They hooked me up on mine. Great people and the whole kit was at my doorstep 2 days later.

for sure, get the full leaf packs. 3" won't need a TC drop. A 4.5" on the other hand includes a TC drop, but that's really only a temporary fix in my opinion while you save up for an SYE
