just be a smart shopper and dont go rushing things..

idk how much lift you want?

hell, I just ordered a 3 inch RC for $255..

and i got 4 maxxis buckshot 31x10.5 tires with black steel rims for 75 bucks..

no its not the best set up, but its good enough for me and thats all that matters

headliner was pretty easy just time consuming! just get it out by unbolting the trim under it and pull the board out. new slowly peel off all the old material and then use a wire brush to scrape off all the old foam glue. the go to something like joanns fabric and order ur material (measure 1st) lay it out and start spraying the headliner glue around. after dry cut the holes out and stick it in!!

and u mean my black marker lights? there on ebay just search it

i know that if you look into Fat Bob's Garage. They have an outlet on Ebay motors i think, along with an actual online site, i have the 2 inch lift on mine right now and i have had no problems.
but then again its just spacers and shackles.
heres the link to all the lifts that you can find on ebay, if you wanted to check it out,

Just read your posting about a cheap 2" BB. First off you can do this for about $70 lol first you need some lowering shackles for a full size chevy or ford f150. Next go on ebay and find these spacers http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-...item1e4ca3d1f6
The shackles run about $30 -$40 from Auto zone or Advance Auto parts
