Default 2wd lift

im thinkin about lifting my truck......but i want it to be fairly cheap.....i was thinkin about a 3" body lift and then 3" coil spacers and 3" block.....does that sound good?.......its only a 2wd so it would be mostly for looks.......this kit \/ says 97 and up...whats different?......how much lift does the 2500 springs give?

that was the plan.....but im not so sure now.....

wouldnt it be cheaper to get the stuff that comes in that kit all separately and just get spacers for the front?

from what i gathered any type of spacer/coil lift on a 2wd greater than 2.5 inches you need new upper control arms to gain proper alignment/ full range of suspension travel. and then depending on the manufacture you need different wheels with different backspacing. i have even heard that depending on the truck, 2 inch lift spacers/coils can be to much. v6/v8, reg/ext cab, short/long bed.

so i guess the real question is are you lifting to level or to put bigger meats under it
