    3' lift, huh? That's pretty tall.

    On a serious note... 3" lifts are all about budget. You get what you pay for. Bilstein 5100 can be had for $400 or less. Or you can spend $3k+ on a long travel. Those (and all the options in between) are in the range of 3".

    Oh yeah, and I forgot about spacer kits. 2-3" for under $200. In fact I have seen them pop up for sale for under $80.

    If your looking for a smooth ride for a reasonable price I would go with an OME lift: I have OME 885s on 5100s and love the ride. Way better than a spacer lift and wont break the bank
