im lookin for a 6 or 6.5 front and a shackle flip in the rear (minimum of 4")
LOL


I read good things about both kits when I googled it. Did you google it? If you are looking for awesome long travel performance so you can jump your truck without breaking stuff, neither of those kits are what you want. But if you want a mild performance and major cosmetic upgrade for relatively cheap, either kit will fit the bill. I would just go with whichever is cheaper.

Haha yeah more cosmetic. No one makes a bolt on LT kit for my truck if they do it's custom fab and have to have my truck sent in and prob costs over 2K

Well, if you are actually curious, I was considering shipping my '72 down here (Seattle to Shreveport) when I first got here, and I could have had it done for $880.

I ordered mine cause I needed a little extra clearence when I'm at the farm and down at the lake. It's just a 2wd so I don't take it mudding or anything but the 3 extra inches will let me get where I need to.
