    Heres my before and after everything ive done so far..

    I recently last month got new wheels and tires, cooper ltz zeon all terrains and XD revolvers matte black, now the only thing im missing is a lift.

    Was wondering if any body had any suggestions?

    Ive heard the bilstein 5100 is a good way to go, i was also looking at some 3'' leveling kits on ebay which are like $89, but i heard those arent to good.
    i was wondering if anyone else had any good suggestions? something to TOO expensive. Thanks

    If u want 3", look into OME......downsouth motorsports has the best prices/customer service and carries the whole line.. call for further info, I don't think they have everything listed on their site..

    5100s will get u 2.5" but wont ride as nice.

    Spacers (leveling kits) have been known to snap shocks even driving onroad.....maybe rare, but why bother?

    Got a budget to work with?

    fox extended travel remote resivoir coilovers, 14" eibach 600lb coils, All Pro tubular chromoly 1" uniball upper control arms, All Pro expedition leaf packs, 10" bilstein 5150 piggyback reservoir shocks 265/75r16 Goodyear wrangler MT/R kevlars wrapped around 16" Helo 791 gloss black, Mini H1 retrofits with 6000k bulbs, 18" magnaflow w/custom exhaust reroute various decals, Sockmonkey retro hood stripes
    how much are you willing to spend?

    Certain coilovers are less than $450 each,

    full OME kits are really nice, as are parting bilstein kits with 5100's and coils
