    , rough county does offer shocks. and may offer coils. But yes OP, I would call it a shitty lift. Better to do it right than do it wrong. Ill tell you this. I bought my truck used. It came with Skyjacker shocks. They suck donky balls. I felt every bump. They are on the same level as rough country. If you can buy a lift kit on Amazon, I would say the lift sucks...IMO

    I have it. Probably the only guy who will admit to it. I cant afford nice lifts like most people on here. Its a piece of crap though. It's worth it to save for a decent lift instead of spend a dime on this one.

    Depending on your budget you could do: billy 5100's with aal or leaf pack. OME lift with aal or leaf pack. Or full on coilovers with again aal or leaf pack. Don't forget for the last 2 options you will need after market ucas. As for the billies some people need them and some don't.

    Edit: from the sound of it billies and aal what be just fine for what need.

    I agree. But it all depends on the OP's budget. Can be a big price jump from billies with aal to OME with leaf pack and ucas...
