    Lots of threads on this...

    When you say not a whole lot of money what does that mean 400$ or 2000$ ?

    We usually say if you can't spend the money now save cuz if you buy cheap you will end up doing it twice.. just food for thought.

    5100s front at 2.5" with Moog replacement springs, 5100s in rear with 2" Wheeler's AAL
    Very happy so far with adjustable 5100's up front and AAL in the rear. Still need to get rear shocks, but those are not too expensive.

    Some lift, some armor, some scratches..
    what's the condition of your current rear leaf springs/front coil springs?? I suspect they are pretty worn out.. and if they are a new leaf pack and coils might be in order = save up til you can afford it

    if your leafs are in relatively good shape Bilstein 5100s on stock coils and a progressive AAL would be a pretty good set-up on a budget.
