    Welcome. x2 on rock lobsters post. Bilstein 5100s is best bang for buck. No reason to change brakes from OEM.

    If you do put super cheap components it could be detrimental. However lift it right and you will have no adverse effects.

    My truck actually handles a lot better after the lift.
