Default What lift should i get?

Im looking to go 2 or 3 inches. First of all my leafs are shot and i cant use add-a-leafs. Is there a small lift that comes with all new leafs cause i thought that would be my best bet.

I want to get the 4.5x kit but don't want the full packs with it. I've already got a 3" for the rear just going to add a shackle with it instead

I would love to do this too, it would knock a considerable amount off of the price, cause the kit pretty much comes with everything else.

back to what lift is best... thats a loaded question.. BUT, I think that the rough country 3" series II kit is a good lift for the price, it comes with the 9000 shocks and lower control arms. But even with this, you probably want to get into an adjustable track bar, a TC drop and other things associat with it. when you start adding all that up, this is why i have moved onto wanting to go with the 4.5X series kit.

I bet if you contacted Grimus on here and talked to him about what all you wanted that you could work out some sort of deal

I'd say it would take off about $200 atleast maybe even more. There is a rough country dealer close to my house I'll try and get in there this week and let you know what they say for pricing for that way

on the cheaper 4.5 kit, it adds about 195 bucks for full leafs, and the AALs are probably around 50ish, so i would imagine it would drop it about that much, about 250.

I hope in sept I have about $600 to spend so can get the 4.5" x kit without the rear. It does loom like a very complete kit and just do the tc drop kit for now
