yeah im still browsing. id prefer a kit with coils instead of spacers and also leaf springs instead of blocks but its all gotta fit in the budget. im also looking to get 4 to 5 inches of lift. so if you guys have any kits to suggest id appreciate it.

Wow. Not too bad of a price, but, it is still using blocks in the rear. Might wanna call 'em, see if you can substitute add-a-leafs for the blocks.

You *might* need longer brake lines, I didn't read the install instructions, so, they may address that in a different fashion....

Aside from that, looks pretty complete.

the instructions only mention relocating the brake line brackets. hmm....this leaves me skeptical. with 5 inches of lift i would expect to have to extend some parts that i have listed above. i dont want to get it all apart and then find out.

That is a good price for that kit. It would be cheaper to add 4" AALs to that kit than to piece together your own 5" lift kit.

Kit should be complete. You won't be raising the body, (you will be raising the whole truck) so, none of the other stuff is a concern.
