    Not many Rough Country fans here. Also not many spacer lift fans. I happen to agree with those, but that's just an opinion.

    More like Junk Country, research as much as you can when lifting.

    Agree. It's easy to get caught up in wanting to get it lifted right now. I do the same thing. But it's probably best to spend a few days researching what you are after and buy something that fits what you want to do with the truck today, and in the future, even if that means saving up a little more (or maybe a lot). I would recommend going with at least Bilstein 5100s all the way around and an AAL. You won't spend much more on that setup, but that is a minimum move up in my opinion. I went Bilstein 6112s/5160s with a Dakar pack, and I'm still in the budget suspension realm to be honest, but they fit well for what I needed. Headstrong Offroad has the 5100 setup with a Deaver AAL for like $750 without upper control arms.

    I started off with just 5100's in the front on stock coils. Then went OME 887's on 5100's up front for 3 inches, and 5100's in the rear with an ICON 3 Leaf Progressive AAL overload in for 2 inches. I still have the ICON 3 Leaf on but have upgraded to overkill KINGS Extended Travel front and rear with resi's. I have waiting to go in an ICON RXT Leaf Pack on the #2 setting as I have a an RTT with a Bed Rack over my Softopper and a fridge/freezer in the bed. I also have a 2nd heavy ass NorthStar Battery in the bed that will be hooked up to Solar etc. Here is how it sits now with the rear a little lower which is why I am redoing the leaf springs, also have aftermarket JBA UCA's as it's recommended for lifts over 2.5 inches.
