Default Best 4.5" lift under $1000?
Im looking at getting a 4.5 inch lift sometime soon so does anyone have any recommendations? I dont plan on doing a lot of rock crawling but i do plan on some field mudding and maybe trails. Also include the tire size you have with your lift. Thanks!

Bastard pack, drop brackets, RC coils, Dakota brake lines, and a HNT SYE. Spend the rest on a front locker 33's and your set.

Just the kit I've had good experience with the RC 4.5" kit. However you can save a bunch of $ if you peace together a kit that will ride about the same

If your pregnant wife rides in your truck with an RC lift, she'll probably have a miscarriage.

Holy ****, I wish I could get my stuff that cheap. 4x4 **** is pretty damn expensive where I live. Mind you I'm not mechanically inclined so I don't do the work myself

I went with the RC X-Series kit. adjustable LCA's. I paid $1200, but that's with an SYE and driveshaft. The x-series kit I bought came with everything including brake lines. Hard to beat for what I paid and everything it came with. Same as this:
