I bought all the suspension stuff seperately. I think I got a good deal for them...

-3" coil spacers from topguncustomz on ebay for $89
-2" rear blocks from rough country $50
-4 rough country shocks with black boots $137

So i spent $276 for my suspension lift. One ebay topguncustomz sells about the same lift for $249 shipped but it doesnt include rear shocks and only has a 1.5'' rear block. I'm very glad i bought the stuff seperately. The ride quality is very good too. the front seems to ride the same as stock but the rear i can feel some bumps but i excepted that.

do you think i will need to buy longer shocks? the reason i ask is because i have new shocks in the front. and i don't want to buy more.

Looks good chief. I like lifted trucks.

Did you notice any steering issues since you didn't replace the pitman arm?
