I WENT TO TRUCK CUSTOMZ AND GOT THEIR 3 INCH LEVEL KIT .. ONLY PART I DIDNT LIKE WAS THE ADDED 1.5 INCH BLOCK FOR THE REAR .. I WAS TOLD 3 INCH IS MAX WITH THE STOCK ARMS IN THE FRONT.. ITS A STRIGHT FORWARD INSTALL .. I DIDNT FOLOW THE DIRECTIONS TO A "t" .. SO I DIDNT HAVE TO GET A NEW FRONT END ALLIGMENT .. IF YOU DISCONNECT THE SWAY BAR YOU HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO PUT THE SPRING BACK IN .. RUSS

You can get a 3in. Front / 2.5. Rear lift from Pro Comp for 490.95 from 4wheelparts.com. I order all my stuff for my ranger from them.

4wheelparts.com has a bad reputation. I'd check out 4wheelcustoms.com instead. I have a 3" Skyjacker lift and like it but honestly you could get a spacer and AAL for cheaper and just do that. I'd get something with a AAL for the rear instead of a block if it was me.

How did 4wheelparts get a bad rep? I've been buying parts from them for 4 years and i've never had a problem. I've had 5 trucks and i bought parts for all of them and never had a complaint. It all depends on if you go muddin or do some serious wheeling. You can go many places with just a spacer and AAL. A block lift in the back is a great setup for a add a leaf for serious crawling.

For messing up orders is the biggest thing I've read about and just being hard to deal with. Go on over to Pavementsucks.com and read about them. You can see they have quite a few unhappy customers. I personally might order from them as they don't seem to just flat out rip you off but seem to not be the best when there are other companys with better service.

u can get just the spacers like a hunderd i think .. but you will need a longer shock in the front .. i agree fully i dont like the added rear block and will get an aal .. my kit came complete spacer, block , u bolts and 2 shocks with boots , and two t shirts shipped for 260 ish when done youll sit just as high as a stock 2500 .. another ave would be to put in the 2500 springs and an aal out back .. not shure what the price difference is
hope ive helped
