    Sounds like OME or some OME/bilstein combo would be more than enough.

    Man I'm not trying to be rude or anything OP but you need to do some research on lifts first. Asking people to send you links to exactly what you need makes me think that you have no idea what you are doing or what kind of lift you want. Before I decided to go with the OME lift I installed on my truck, I researched everything out there for about a month and a half before I made a final decision. There are tons of threads here on TW that will give you more then enough information to help you decide what you want.

    I'm being an "enabler" here.

    Downsouth Motorsports has a "build a lift kit" section on their website which lets you choose parts from several top flight manufacturers. I got Kings, TC UCA, Bilsteins, shipped to the east coast for definitely within your budget. I also called them with questions and they were helpful.

    (I too spent several months scouring this website and others before deciding what to do. All the info is out there if you're willing to look for it.)

    Good luck.

    I think I remember you from another thread, aren't you 15?

    And if that's true I wanna know where you are getting $2500 for just a lift kit:eek: cuz I am also a teenager and that is higher than my whole build budget.

    There should be a specific subforum on TW where those of us with full-time jobs are tasked with carefully picking out component lists for teenagers with nothing better to do than research what they need to buy yet are too lazy to do so...


    yeaaaaahhh that'd be greattttt:facepalm:
