    I'd swap out the spacer lift for a full on suspension lift, it'll ride much better on and off-road. If not I'd get an aftermarket tube or plate bumper for a next mod. Maybe throw some lights on it or something.

    From your pic it looks as if you do lots of wheeling so in the process of lifting it as Shipps mentioned I would go ahead and SAS it as well :D

    Budget? May as well just get a really good mid travel setup instead of beating around the bush with OME or Eibach/5100 setups. but depends on your budget.. Get a set of icon, fox, king etc coilovers, LR UCA's (or brand of your choice) then go for some armor!

    As for the rear you can do as I and many others have done and rebuild your factory leafs with some chevy leafs from a junkyard or do a chevy 63" swap.. or spend the big bucks and get Allpro standard or expo leafs...

    It all also boils down to your intentions with the truck as well and what direction your wanting to go with it

    Old man emu is what I have and I like it. I used the 882 coils but they're a bit stiff without an aftermarket bumper. 881's would be adequate.

    The cheapest way to go then is the eibach/5100 route! that's what I had before I cut it all out and I had no complaints.

    IIRC I had about $450 in my full lift from front to rear.. id say $550 total including extended brake lines, new center pins for the leaf springs and taco lean spacer
