OP,

Just curious as why you want to lift the truck if you
A. Don't want to spend money (I just said I don't want to dump a lot of money in this 5 lug RWD)
B. Don't plan on going off road much (For overall looks and re-sale the slightly lift or leveling is a good investment)

Lifting the truck (small amounts) doesn't get you much ability to run bigger tires and in general costs money both in the parts and the decreased MPG. Valid points, thanks!

If my truck wasn't already lifted from the previous owner I would have gone with the KYB shocks. They seem to be cheap and handle well for most daily applications.

I did end up going with 5100 that replaced the 5100 that were already on there. It was a difference of about $120 total (this is just rear shocks) from the KYB Gas-a-just. So not too bad, but a lift is going to cost a lot more unless you are just throwing some hockey pucks under the frame.

Good points thanks. I did comment in blue text.
