Default leveling kit

Hi all I was wondering what is a good "lift kit"
this is my daily driver so I am only looking to give it a little more aggressive look. I was thinking in the 2.5" range I would like to keep my stock shocks, I was not thinking and Just put new ones in so I would like to not have to replace them after a week.
any suggestions?

If you want to keep your factory shocks just do a 2" bb. It will consist of a coil spring spacer, and aal or extended shackle in the rear.

Go with the shakle if at all possible.

Moved to chat.

2.75" coil spacer and adjustable 2"-3" shackle with 31-10.50's on stock steelies. Leafs were flat before shackles. They applied a lot of pressure on the leafs and caused them to have a negative arch. I then went to a s-10 bastard pack and never regretted it since. Hope this helps!

Good luck!

You can start right here on CF in the vendors section. There are a lot of great vendors in there that have all of the info you need as to price and parts needed.

Rocky road out fitters. Really good cheap budget boost. They have a 1.5" / 2" and 3" bb kit. Also lift kits but they start at lik 3" I think. Rockyroadoutfitters.com
