2wd lifts are not that bad in price.

Devious duck: Spindles dont require upper arms because they dont affect the geometry of the suspension, the OP is gonna have a hell of a time finding a spindle kit for less than $500, but will need the uppers with springs

3" springs need upper control arms, what size tire do you plan on running
idk im new to lifting my truck so im trying to get information from someone who knows more than me so it will help me understand better. i know i want to stay low with rim size because i dont want the front to have more weight which will kill the gas milage. what are your suggestions? but i did look at the doetsch lift kit and so far it seems the best. can you please check this website out tell me if you think it is good or not red? thank you appreciate the help everyone http://app.infopia.com/Shop/Control/...112/rid/127794

Its a springtech(same as canuck motorsports) lift kit, a cheaper brand but a decent setup, I like my springs a little stiffer than stock, makes it much nicer to drive and with a bigger sidewall keeps ride very close to stock. I cant say much about there control arms since I went with 2.5" coils.

I havent heard a problem about their control arms though

The shackles are nice since you dont have to worry about blocks but my shackle bolt rubs the hanger causing a squeek, lithium grease helps but a quick hit with a grinder during install can solve that.

If you want I can put up some pics from when my truck had the 2.5" coils and shackles in the rear, also I could clear 33's with that setup and was running 285/75/16 M/T's
