What if your stock leafs aren't sagging to begin with? Do you think i would be ok for a year? I know its ony a few more hundred,but it would help me out now.

I am looking into Iro or Rustys 4.5 lift.

I would say go for it. If/when they start sagging you can always throw on adjustable lift shackles for a lot cheaper than a new set of springs. This would be what I would do, especially if you're not looking to gain towing capacity.

run with what you got but don't be pissed when they go flat and you rig sags like a caddy
aside from money the best thing you save is ride quality
look into bastard packs for lift
bypass the aal and build your lift pack

Yeah. I think i'm just gonna save alittle more and go with a full pack.

Why does RC's kit cost more but come with less compared too Rustys which come with a trac bar for the 4.5 kit. I guess its gonna be a Rustys kit.
thanks for the help guys.

make sure you can get the bolt out of the frame. I was going to do a drop shackle but my bolt going through my stock shackle into the frame was rusted throught and i didnt want to break it off. I had to block it if i didnt want to go through some headaches
