    for about $100 bucks more you could get a good susp lift.

    bili 5100's on all 4 corners and an AAL out back

    much better option

    I just had that lift put on a couple of weeks ago. Totally worth it for the money. A good starting point imo. Also, I have the nitto terra grapplers. Good ride. At least my truck isn't about to shake itself apart on the highway with the goodyear wranglers i had.

    You asked our opinions on lift, we gave you them and you completely ignore them.
    What more do you want? You obviously don't want to take our "already lived and learned" advice.
    If you want a spacer lift then get a spacer lift. It's going to ride like shit and if you care about that you will end up replacing it in a couple months when you are driving down a bumpy road and your truck is jumping all over the place

    chill man, spacers really arent as bad as everyone makes them out to be. I ran spacers up front for over 6 months and I had absolutely zero issues on or offroad. I did end up going with CO's later but the spacers are fine if your on a budget. The OP obviously isnt as informed as we are on lifts but cut the guy some slack.

    That's great that spacers were ok for you.
    I ran mine for about 5 months and hated every second of it.
    I made the same mistake that he is going to make, hence why I am trying to steer him away from it. Sorry if I came off to harsh, but dude seriously, you should really just save up your money and get a nicer lift, it's really not that much more expensive to get bilstien 5100's all the way aroud and an add a leaf or even a leaf pack in the rear. And the ride will be sooooooo much better than a spacer lift.
    And if you really want a nice lift get spindles and king coils with a leafpack out rear.
    I just don't want to see you make the same mistake I and alot of others have done.

    Good luck with whatever you choose
