    We need more deets: budget, intended use, etc...

    What are your plans with it?

    Is this going to be a bro lift to match the size of your belt buckle? Or do you plan to do some off-roading with it? Will this be an "overlander", a fishing/hunting truck, daily driver, dune hucker, Baja prerunner, etc...?

    You can spend anywhere from a couple hundred bucks up to several thousand. The sky is literally the limit. The performance you get from each is vastly different, but for a daily driver there's no reason to spend several thousand for adjustable coilovers and uniball UCAs.

    If you can spend around a grand, get the full OME kit. Your f/r springs are more than likely worn out anyway and should probably be replaced. This kit will replace all springs and shocks.

    If you're on a tighter budget, get some 5100s and a rear add-a-leaf. That'll run about $400-500.
