    Do what I am doing, save up and do it right. Money is not growing on the pine trees outside so I have to save up for a few months. Just make sure you do it right the first time instead of having to literally pay for problems down the road.

    New lift coils and an aal is a good start for a college student on a budget looking to run 33's. Can see any problems needing to be fixed later. He can always add new shocks and uca's later without throwing out the original parts.
