Bought some things from Jason @ jeepinoutfitters and some I've bought off Amazon 'cause I got Prime. Serious Offroad is a vendor here and seems to be popular.

You fail to mention if you desire a lift kit or just stock leafs/coils.


You can find many different "Stock" leafs and coils but most are all made in China. One of the better brands for that is Dorman that many use here and happy with, have never used them myself.


For a lift that's all made in NA the Rustys 3 1/2" lift full leaf/coil, shocks and all hardware complete $438. Have used this kit for almost 4 yrs. and zero issues.

Rustys list the 3" full leaf/coil lift package for $438 on his site and his are the best quality leafs and coils much better than the Superlift IMHO.


With my 3" Rustys lift and trimmed fenders I ran 33x12:50x15's on a 15x8" wheel with 3.75" of BS this is a must for clearance. Steel wheels are cheap in the proper size from many venders Summit, Jegs wherever from $40 up. Here is an older photo of my 3' Rustys lift with 33x12:50x 15" tires.
