    The words "cheap" and "suspension" terrify me.

    Bilsteins retail for about 450-500 for the set of four. Hard to go lower than that and still be legit.

    There are systems on the truck where it's ok to take shortcuts, and there are systems that really should be done right.

    Jus saying.

    to the original poster, I've been through top hat spacers 5100's with 886 and stock springs messing with bump stops to stop the uca from hitting the spring and countless other bull... my next set will probably be something around the 2k range for the front. My suggestion is to bite the bullet and do it now because its saves you money in the long run. the best deal I found that is a big step up from 5100's is the dobinsons and when you see the diffrence in price its not that much
