    Haha every time! It's really the best value out there for somebody like this guy that wants a slight lift but doesn't want to spend a lot!

    Then go with these in the front. And this for the rear. Should give you about 3 inches up front, and 2 inches in the back.

    I know....I'm such a hypocrite! :D they're just the best all around for the price.

    definitely ditch the stock coils. precompressing coils is never exactly recommended and if you want better ride quality as well as the full 3" lift I'd go with either eibach or OME lift coils. you'll have to use a top plate spacer to get all 3" with the OME coils.

    for the rear get longer shackles or an AAL to get the lift you want

    What's better for the rear? AAL or Shackles? I heard that AAL would give you a very stiff ride. How about the wheelers 3 pack AAL?

    I don't have them, but I'd probably go with shackles. they're cheaper and don't really change the geometry too much

    Go with an AAL IMO...more than likely your stock pack is frowning already (worn out) and an AAL will give the their pep back, stiffen up your ride (good thing) and increase your load resistance if you ever put anything in the bed.

    If your only streeting it or mild offroading an over coil spacer and aal would be fine for you, i have them and my truck rides fine (if anything a little stiff in the rear) and i do some moderate wheeling and have had no problems, though i will upgade eventually. But on road i couldn't be happier.
