Performance accessaries is the best/complete kit. they are around $200.
No kit will come with the rear brackets. I woulndt bother with the rear bracket though. Its better to drill different holes, they show you how in the instructions
as far as going 2 over 3 why bother than.
any line that will be stretched out beyond what theyre suposed to is included in the kit.
I would just go 3. 2" would be a waste and you wont notice a difference from 2 to 3.
Jc whitney or summit carries this brand of body lift

The brackets are a waste of money. I made the mistake of buying them. They weld a grade 8 all thread to a softer metal plate, so when I torqued the bolts to 50ftlbs they just spun off.
LIke I said dont waste your money.
all of the kits will come with the front brackets.
The gaps arent bad at all, Not even as close to bad as the chevys. Body lifts on the chevys look pretty queer.
Look on my cardomain site there are plenty of before and after shots. You can get the idea.
Gap guards. Well I picked up a set from someone for 20 bucks. I threw the rear set away because they did nothing really except for flap in the breeze. The fronts are nice just because they block alot of dirt and mud from getting up in the engine compartment.

After looking at my rear bumper and frame I've noticed all I have to do is unbolt the 3 bolts on each side, move it to where I want it and drill some holes. I agree with God Ram It, waste of money!. If you want though www.suspensionconnection.com has them I think

I went with the PA 3" and rancho 3" sport kit. 35's are a good fit. Not sure if you will have rub issues with the 3" and 2"
The front bumper bracket comes with the kit. As they said the rear bracket would be a waste. Unbolt the bumper, Hold in place, mark holes, drill, bolt back on. If you look at my pics on the forum, there is a shot of the rear bumper area. The gap is the same as stock. You can also see where the jack crank hole was relocated next to license plate light.
