    It ultimately what you use your truck for. More specifically, how often you off road/tow. Of course, assuming you have a large budget, which is the largest factor.

    Everyone here is gonna tell you to just use the search. This way, you can research what you feel it is used for. Post back if you have any specific questions :thumbsup: people here, including myself, will he more than happy to help.

    I would look at either an OME lift or 5100s with new leaf packs. Don't go cheap on the lift, and stay away from blocks and spacers.

    Budget? I'd say no more than 3K. I believe in crying once, pay once. I've got so much armor on the truck the springs/suspension is a bit mushy.

    Definitely will need UCAs with that much lift, but looks like your budget will cover that.
