    If you're firm on your budget and in a hurry, OME. IF you can wait and save more, Icons.

    Agree with Trippwhaley just put that 1k in a jar and stow it away and keep putting money aside until you have enough for Icons, King, or Fox i also recommend Icon you'll be much happier rather than doing a budget lift then realizing you want to upgrade it because you want it to be better i personally just saved and ordered an Icon stage 3 by no means a cheap lift and i know ill still want to upgrade way down the raod but just my opinion do it right the first time and you wont have to worry about it later

    LOL
    your a prerunner, for the best bang for your buck i would get a spindle lift for the front, and an AAL for out back, and spend your saved moneies elswhere :) like lighting, go towards your new tires, or a spindle lift AND a coilover to go along with it.
