    Welcome to TW. What is your budget for the lift kit and what will you use your truck for?

    Define heavy bumper?

    Plate bumper or Tube?

    If your wanting a real sooth ride, get a full OME kit with some 882 coils.

    If your getting a plate bumper, id go with the 5100/Eibach coil combo.

    AAL= add a leaf or adding extra leaf to your current rear leaf pack to yield rear lift vs using rear blocks or shackles.

    Did you guys have to redo your A arms? I have to redo mine and was woundering what would be a good kind to get?
    And on the Eibach coils are they the 544 or 545, and are they pro kit or sport line?
