    I will give you the standard TW answer:

    Bilstein 5100's if you are on a budget, Kings if you aren't

    Give Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road a call and you will get setup right.

    I've been debating my lift decision for about a year now.

    Progress so far:
    - Moved past any idea of any blocks / spacers.
    - Hopped on Billstein idea fro $700-$1000
    - Then thought OME is probably the right way to go for $1,200-1,400.
    - Now thinking ICON Stage 2 for $1700-1900

    I have this speadsheet setup where I compare all kinds of numbers, and I'm delaying a decision monthly by doing this.
    Eventually my truck will be paid for and I'll have more money to spend on something even better.

    I do the same thing. Once it gets past $15k I delete it all and go cry a little.

    Yes. For each option, I'm pricing out buying as a package, or piecing out separately. (Cost difference seems negligible so far).
    So far the toughest part is quantifying what I actually gain going from one package to the next.
    My assumption is when it comes to resale, all of it is a big fat zero, otherwise I'd go with the one that gives the best ROI (return on investment) if there was any, (dollar wise).


    I've only weeped a few times so far.
    One thing I've discovered over the years of analyzing purchases, whether auto-related, electronics, etc., you can spend small, medium, and large, and then if you're a total expert, you can justify spending insane amounts that are 10x "large" for "the very best". I usually try to find something in the medium-best range with the best bang for the buck. Knowing so little about suspensions, this one has me scratching my head, and eventually I'll just have to pull the trigger.

    I have no idea. I was hoping someone else would help me out with this. :)
    I'll probably wait another year and then re-analyze again.

    Hey OP, you might be from Cali given your name. If so, stay away from all the vendors in CA...headstrong , SDHQ, Autoanything. All your discount will be eaten up by sales taxes.
    I get my stuff from Wheelers in Oregon.
