whichever lift you get, try to get one with a full length AAL...it will hold up much better than a short aal. stock leaves are prone to sag, but if you have a full length support under the main, they seem to do much better

You stated that you're broke, so the question is, do you need to install a lift kit or just want to install a lift kit?

seriously, don't waste your money on AAL kits. If you're that short on cash wait till you have a bit more and go with full leaf packs.

I'd also like to suggest looking at Rusty's Offroad kits - IMO better than RC and much better than Zone. They give you brake line relocation brackets and a spring choice as well.

You may also want to seriously consider a TC drop kit and adjustable trackbar/control arms at 3-4" of lift.

Anyway between RC, Zone, Rustys, Iron Rock, through the dice.
From my research there is no clear BETTER, they are about the same. Only real difference I've seen is Price and Customer Service. People buy these lifts and either Like it or hate it. The replacement lift is always seems better, no matter who it comes from.
