Well the aal would be a good choice to go with if u plan on doing some light wheeling and ur leafs are in alright/good shape, if u just want for looks then there are cheaper lift options, if u plan on doing heavy wheeling or if ur stock leafs are shot then getting full leaf packs is the best option. U can easy add spacers and shackles later if u want to go higher aswell
