    Sorry if this is a repeat question.

    I'm looking to put a lift on my 2002 DC. I was looking on toytec and I'm not sure which to go with. I'm a but of a noob when it comes to this stuff.

    Why do some come with rear shocks and some with full shocks? Is it a good idea to put buy with shocks??

    I was looking at the

    -old man emu package

    -Bilstein lift kit with 5100 shocks

    -2.5" lift kit with spacers, Toytec AAL's and rear shocks.

    Thoughts from anyone. I don't want a huge lift. Just a little something. Not sure if 3" is gonna be a huge difference.

    Thanks

    I've had my OME on for 4 yrs & 80K miles now and I am totally satisfied with it.
    So much so that we put the same lift on my cousins 2000 extended cab about the same time and he likes it too.
    Good luck with your install and don't forget to post pictures of whatever lift you end up installing!

    I have OME lift and I am very satisfied. Ended up being a 3 inch lift as my stock suspension was tired.

    Not sure about the budget. I would say it was $0.00, but thats obviously not the case since I'm already over $500.00 in additions in the first 3 weeks I've owned my truck.

    The OME's are sounding like they might be what I'm going with. The link posted by REI6NMAN makes them sound like best bang for the buck.
