    This isn't a suspension geometry question-This is simple math.

    I think you want a 3 inch lift that can offroad, so (rough numbers) you need:
    Tires: $800
    Coilovers/AAL/Shocks/Extra Parts: $1300 (or so)
    UCA's: $600
    Total: $2700 or so

    Now...To get the cheap lift adds 200 bucks to that...plus the time you'll spend taking it apart to do this lift...and then again to do the other lift. Stack the potential for damage and the aesthetic only nature of spacers-And it's just not worth it.

    I vote for save the dough until you have enuf to do one part or the other... It's more painful that way- but better for your truck.

    When I woke up this morning I was going to buy a 2.5inch spacer lift til I can afford to buy the Icon stage 2 or 3. Then I found this post now Ill wait till I can do it right. Once again TW and It's members save me from making a costly mistake. Thanks to the people that know. From the ones of us that don't.
