Someone put on a readylift the other day and says it rides like stock. Its over $300 I think. Its a driveway install. The other option is the spindles like weed mentioned. I just installed them. Overall I think they are quite a bit easier than the spacer install and they are only $270 including shipping.

Heres my 07 2wd with a 2.5in level, 3in spindle, and 3in body.
Where did you get the spindles at? Did you need any specialty tools or was it pretty easy? Also does it do anything to the rear or just bring the front up?

off ebay from pricebusterchris but they are just airbagit.com spindles. It was easier than installing coil spring spacers and I made a DIY on it. It just brings the front up
