Well if you go with a 3" lift you will need longer shocks, also Rough Country makes a nice 3" lift and it wil likely be cheaper to ship then Rusty's if you call RC directly.

same rustys may be cheap but with low price you get foul quality. RC is a lot better, and they dont charge that much for shipping.

Rustys shipping will rape you and RC will hook you up with everything at a great price with great service
