I pieced together my lift kit from various stores...

3" coil spacer - $80 from topguncustomz
2" rear block and u bolts - $50 from someone on pavement sucks dot com (they were brand new)
Rough Country shocks - $120 from National Tire and Wheel

I regret not doing my lift right the first time and getting the add a leafs. It would have just cost me a few bucks more, but I'm a poor college student. Eventually I plan on doing a 5" lift once I'm finished with school and doing away with the stacked blocks. I really noticed a difference after I installed the lift with the stacked blocks. Every bump I can feel compared to when it was stock.

well thanks guys you pretty much just made up my mind, on gettin the add a leaf in the back.

Gonna piece together a 3" spacer up front, and 2" add a leaf in the back. then maybe a body lift down the road who knows.

Hellbentsteel.com makes a 2.5" spacer for 65 I think and 2" aals at topgun are 60 the last time I ckecked. I agree with silver about reusing ubolts, ice always used new ones. You can buy a set from autozone for like 18 bucks if you wanted something cheap. I get mine made at a local spring shop for 60.

the only thing i did to my suspension was a 3'' coil spacer from hellbentsteel.com it only cost me $65 and i clear 315/70/r17s.
i love the way my truck sits now, the rear only sits about .5'' lower than than the front.
but im gonna be buying new shocks soon and hope it might level every thing out.
