    So yea, I'm skeptical, looks too good to be true. I know suspension is not cheap at all if done right. BUT I am a total noob with suspension, lifts, tires etc. All I really wanna be able to do is put bigger tires on my 2013 DCLB. Will this do the trick? I don't do any off roading or technical 4 wheeling. Trying not to spend a shit ton of money on a lift when all I want is clearance for bigger tires.

    Thanks and sorry if it was a repost.

    Agreed. Try to do at least a 5100 Bilstein lift. The ride quality will vastly improve over stock along with an increase in ride height which is better adjustable.

    Regardless of what you DO choose, do no EVER... EVER... buy blocks. They are the WORST lift option, and cause an increase in axle wrap, as well as a higher risk of axle separation if you are ever (God forbid) in an accident.
