buy some s-10 leafs and do a bastard pack. they dont sag, and their cheap. then just buy some 3" coils for the front. done! Also the s-10 leafs will flex like crazy!

Go to carparts.com. They have a 3in RC kit for $227.99 with shipping and tax. It comes with coils,aal,shocks,boots and hardware. I did'nt use the aal though. I did the s-10 springs. It rides really well and handles well also. Very happy with it.
