I'd go with a cheaper wheel and tire combination. I got my wheels for $350 installed and my tires for $500. Both brand new. As for the lift, the 3 inch spindles off ebay were $350 and 50 bucks shipping, $40 coil spring spacers and an autozone axle block. $30

I have been shopping like mad . and i ran across a company that i used like 15 or so years ago when i lowered my other truck and looked up lift kits and they sell individual peices...the spindle with a three inch lift is 299., coil springs 2 or 3 inch are 139. , upper control arm 369. upper control arm adjustable 499. What is a adjustable upper control arm ,and what are the pros and cons of adjustable upper control arm ? So it looks like i can peice my suspension together and come out pretty reasonable on the cost...also what does it mean when it says on the lift spindles to use only factory offset...

These are all the control arms. They dont put a description on any of them. Not sure if I'd trust them or not.

not trying to bust your bubble or nuthin......
are these the ones youre thinkin bout gettin? if so, move your mouse over the ball joint on the one in the upper left pic and it will show it bigger, just looks to me like a not very engineered meeting point, thats all
