What is your budget? That will really determine what lift you should be looking at.

Sye and driveshaft is like half your budget..

Unless you mean 1k for the lift and additional money for other items.

That's only if you aren't frugal with your cash there are deals out there . He could find the SYE reasonable . I'd do a HnT and a front shaft from an xj but that's me .

Piece it together and just get what you want. Find the part number you want and use google shopping to find best price and free shipping.

I am going 4.5" in front and 4" in back. Rusty's 4.5" coils, OME 2" leaf springs and RC 2" lift shackle. Plus some other stuff...

Op can purchase whatever he desires. No where did I say he needed a $300-$400 driveshaft so I'm not sure what you were reading. Care to quote where I said that though just to clear things up? Thanks.

In other words I never said anything about a $300-$400 drive shaft. Cool

You might like HnT. I prefer the full kit. It is all personal preference so like I said before, different strokes for different folks. He asked for options. HnT is one options. Full kit is another option.

3-400 is still pretty clise to half of the guys stated budget you just did not put a number too it :7) ! Custom rear shaft plus the SYE kit is over half the stated 1k !
