Which lift kit should I go with?

I'm currently trying to decide between two lifts, I'm not a huge offroader but will find myself on muddy country roads often, but beyond that, there isn't much abuse. I'm trying to stay reasonably priced.
My first option is.
Eibach along with these struts and shocks, I would buy Toy-Tec AAL
or should I go with Bilstein adjustable 3" lift?

Along with the lift I plan on buying JBA UCA

Any recommendations or changes I should make to this plan?

 

Check out Toytec. They have a 3” preassembled coilover so it’s a diy install super easy plus your jbas, if you not hauling stuff you could put a 2” block in the back and be just fine.

 

Here is the set up on the front of my truck.

 

I went with the bilsteins and they've held up great. I don't do any crazy off roading but for the basics theyve done a good job!

 

If you are running 285s and maintain a good ride quality, you can get a away with coilovers set at 2.5" along with a wheelers progressive AAL pack for the rear. Avoid rear blocks at all cost. Blocks will increase the likelihood of axle wrap and wear the factory leads quicker, especially with a loaded bed.

 

A small block doesn’t cause all these issues. I have a set of 2” blocks zero issue on the street and on the light trail roads I drive on. To make the statement avoid blocks at all cost does a complete disservice to guys that really do not do heavy off-roading. Blocks have there place and also don’t have there place.

 

Even if they aren't assembled I know some of the local shops that will compress and build them for a pretty small fee, that set up looks extremely good on your truck and now it excites me to get mine done once the weather will allow me to install it. For the blocks, I have heard mixed things so it makes me a bit skeptical so I figured I could throw $100 and get an AAL.

Thank you!!

 

I heard that the Blistein lift set at 3" gets a bit of a rough ride and I definitely want something that is comfortable, that was one reason I was thinking about the Eibach. I definitely plan on going with an AAL pack to do it properly on the budget.

Thank you very much!

 

Keep us posted with some pics when your done.

 

I will do, I plan on doing a build post going with a list of all modifications I have planned, along with pictures of the minor things I have done!

 

You spend so much on your truck, why cheap out when there are better options. Ideally, you would want a full leaf pack replacement but a progressive AAL is a good budget upgrade over blocks. Going with 1.5" rear blocks when I first bought my truck was the worse suspension decision I made. My springs sagged after a year and I developed axle wrap. Going with a rear leaf packed fixed my issues. You may be one of the lucky ones but many of us here have ran into issues with blocks. Same reason why I wouldn't recommend top plate spacer lift for the front.
