    Like, so many.
    Level the front and call it a day.

    Welcome bro, 2006 here also. 7" lift and don't regret it :) if your going to do just a minor lift and call it a day, do it right, get some 3" lift coil springs, extended travel front struts, 2" Add A Leaf in back, bilstein 5100 shocks for the rear.

    Looking at about $1000 doing the work yourself. You can fit 32-33 in tires and have caddilac ride.

    If you just want to level it, get 2" coils. About $300, maybe need small block in the back, few dollars.

    As to "what's the point?"

    It's a 2006, if it has any of the Sport packages you have OEM Mechanical Limited Slip rear differential, if it's an Off-Road package you have Locking rear differential. You can go places you didn't think a 2WD can go!

    Nice ride!! Is yours a 2wd as well? Everything you mentioned about lifting mine 3" sounds pretty great, sounds like you know what you are talking about, you say around $1000, you have any sites you recommend buying from? If you can send me links that'd be awesome ... when I google these kits so many of them come up I just even even know where to start looking.. thanks bro appreciate it!
