I have my eye on three lifts this is my first choice i like this because of the shocks and springs but it only has 3.0 inch of lift and i want to put blazer/s-10 leafs in back and that will give 3.5in of lift so i don't want the front lower would shackles even that out or would it even be noticable

it is 3.5 inch but it does not specify if it is add a leaf or not, but i that it comes with the t-case drop. And if it is add a leaf i will just do the s-10 leafs.

this is my third choice

I assume that these lifts accommodate a 31x10.50 tire, the problem is i just bought 4 31x12.50x15 on rims will i be able to use these with spacers maybe?

 

31's are what's recommended for a 3" lift without trimming fenders. I've actually got 31's on my 4.5" right now. Here's a few other options for you, which eliminate the midlde man.

I'd get one of these three brands if you're on a budget.
I have dealt with Rough Country and if you call and ask for Jason and tell him you're on this site, he'll give you 10% off.

 

check out rustys offroad.... imo there superior to other brands....

 

As you can see... opinions will vary... lol

 

Like said above, you have TONS of options. So I think you should talk a little longer to decide exactly what you want

 

Why is that?

 

I would go with RE. This is the 3rd kit you mentioned but this guy is a great vendor and supports the forums, so support him.

If you currently have decent leaf springs this is a good kit to start off. You can always build off it later.
I would do some JK take off shocks if money is an issue. You can usually find them on eBay for a decent price.

Id buy directly through the manufacturer, or somewhere like quadratec. Go rustys, rough country, rubi express, iro, old man emu, superlift, sky jacket, etc. I'm a rustys guy myself

 

I'd go with rough country or Iron rock myself. Iron Rock damn near dares you to break their stuff, lol. And I've loved my rough country setup for the last 2 years... getting ready to add an iron rock long arm upgrade to it . I've never bought from rusty or rubicon express, Rusty may be a great guy, but I have friends who have had bad dealings with him though over a return or a warranty of some kind, I don't remember... but I remember my friend got mad enough that he told rusty to hope he never saw him out on the trail, lol. I'd still pick rusty over something like skyjacker or tuff country. just my opinion

 

yea throw out the Tuff Country and Skyjacker options

 

i personally like their spring quality over others.. they seem to have less sag over time.. plus if youre looking to install a bumper and winch they offer a hd front spring to compensate for the extra weight.. . and if you dont wanna spend the cash ona full rear pack, they offer add a leafs in all sizes.. im running a 2" full length in my rear pack with a 1.5 shackle. and i love the ride quality...i pieced my lift together from rustys parts, and only have about 240 bucks into it.... also it doesnt say it on the website but they send new centering pins and pack clamps with the rear leafs for free...

 

yea Rustys has nice flexy springs.

 

I love my rustys. Worth the weight in gold

 

defiantly am gonna do that now i am deciding between the rough country and rustys I like the serious off road but its a bit out of my price range... So i just went on rustys and the prices are great for this lift combo. This is basically the same as rough country for 100 less. but i still want to do the s10 bastard pack because i will be occasionally towing cars and i don't want to risk sagging and for the .5in lift differance i think i can just get away with spacers up front (if i can find.5 spacers). thanks for the advice.
