    First off I tried to search my phone doesn't like this forum and I don't have a computer.

    I have to get new springs and struts in the front they are sagging and or I need just a little lift in the front to cure my tire rub. Have 265/75r16 tires stock suspension.

    I do not want to lift it due to it needs to be able to fit in your average sized single car garage which is my biggest issue.

    Looking at either rancho quick lift 1.75 lift in front or old man emu just due to the fact that they come assembled I do not want to mess with springs and compressors. Are there other assembled options out there better than these that are better and THAT ARE ASSEMBLED?

    Also with just a 1.75 lift will I need to do anything in the rear to level it? I plan on doing rear shocks as well but can't do both right now due to funds.

    I'm confused.... U don't want to lift, but do want 1.75" lift? Billy 5100's maybe? To keep it level depends on how saggy the rear is... If needed get an aal or new packs.

    Sorry I want to level it out most kits are 2 inch or more and most on here will just say lift it issue fixed but I don't have much room to work with the garage. So yes I don't want a 3 inch lift but it needs to be lifted to level it out and to rid the rub. I only have maybe 3 inches from the roof of my truck to the garage door to work with. Better picture to show the sagging.

    I'd think youd be ok with the billi's ...set them at 1.25 (leveling)

    you have to take the stockers off anyways. just bring them to a shop to get coils swapped.

    to go ome youl need a coil that meets your need and they dont come assembled as far as i know. Ranchos are the only ones i can think of (besides coilovers) that come preassembled but they have mixed reviews on ride and build quality.

    Old man emu also has assembled ones I can put them in myself with out issue. I do not want to mess with springs myself and I can get alignment for free. Trying to save some money.

    A shop will assemble them cheaper. And after that you wont have to buy coil with the 5100 saving more money
