    Didn't know they installed lifts. Find a reputable off-road shop, buy a kit from them or source one yourself (lots of good vendors on here), have the shop install it, or install it yourself if you have the know how.

    If you're 4x4, you're limited to a drop bracket style lift to get 4". This requires cutting out part of the frame and welding the lift bracket in place. I would only trust someone with a lot of experience to do this.

    I installed a 2.5 leveling lift kit from Les Schwab before. It was an okay, but it was to stiff riding. They will only install kits that they sell, like rough country.
    I wouldnt recommend it.

    It was probably a block and/or spacer "leveling kit"

    Avoid avoid avoid...unless you like getting your teeth broken driving down a washboard road.

    You guys have some awesome advice to work with. Steering clear of Schwab.
    Leaning towards OME 3" lift.
    Thank you and Mahalo plenty!!
