The 2WD guys will weigh in on lift options, but if you're thinking just coil spacers here then IMO a puck is a puck and there isn't a real difference between brands.

As for the tire choice, I had a set of Terra Grapplers on a lifted Grand Cherokee I owned from '06 until just a couple of months ago. In an A/T tire they are a great choice. Very good to excellent performance in any environment I ever had them in except deep mud - but then again - no A/T tire is gonna be great in heavy slop. Probably the best wet pavement tire I have ever owned...

i got my leveling kit from autoanything.com for pretty cheap, it's truxxx brand and look really good and have had no problems. make sure you get your front end alignment after getting the level kit installed though

You can do it yourself as long as you have all the right tools and it can be done in a couple of hours form what I've seen. I'm not too sure on the pre 06s for leveling as the suspension set up is a little bit different since we have coil front suspensions but for the 06 up the best route is lift spindles but I don't think you have that option. Maybe longer springs?

I honestly need to replace my shocks on truck, so im figuring I may just go ahead and replace my Shocks and springs on top of leveling it out. Do y'all use auto anything quite a Bit to order parts? Or is there something better out there?

Autoanything is good, as is rockauto. Amazon and ebay are worth a shot although leas reliable.

If your going to replace your shocks and coil springs best thing is to get the rough country 3" coil springs with ther shocks. thats what i did. I think it was about 75 for the springs and around 110 for all 4 shocks.
