Suggestions for budget friendly 3/1 lift kits?

I want to hear suggestions from the community in regards to 3/1 lift kits of any nature as long as they’re budget friendly. All jokes aside, please don’t attack me on why i desire a 3” lift height.
(4WD model)

thank you

 

2 wheel drive or 4?

 

4X4

 

Just jack up the front of the truck and heat the springs w torch until the wheels drop 3".

/S. I think the most popular choice for entry level lifts here is 5100's. Are u going whole hog with UCA's and everything?

 

This is an intervention. Squatted trucks are not healthy

 

5100’s don’t achieve 3 inches in the front.

 

What do they achieve?

 

I am not desiring a squat stance.

 

Websites and users state 2.5” or so at most.

 

Stack a 1/4 spacer on top. Boom sticks, cheap lift aquired.

 

What brands out there produce spacers that i could stack on?

 

Hit up @HeadStrong Off-Road and they'll get ya sorted

 

Total chaos fabrication makes some top spacers you can also look into toytec they make phenomenal products

 

I just checked again. 5100’s only give a maximum lift of 2”

 

Ideally you run the Bilsteins with maybe a spacer to get you that last 1/2" so you get the full 3" you desire

 

Sorry man, not well versed in lifts and their net gain, but what I do know, is you're better off doing it right the first time. The headache and labor associated with doing shit multiple times is just not worth it in the long run.

 

If I recall correctly Old Man Emu shocks with the right spring might get you 2.5


what is your end goal? are you trying to stuff a certain size tire in the fender well?

 

I have a revtek 3” spacer with diff drop and aal. Total with the wheel alignment was like $800. I off road it every day for work and it is pretty rough. If I could do it again I would spend $500 more and get something smoother. Tires are 255/85/16 geolanders.

 

Did the AAL make your ride more rough in the rear and how much lift did you gain?
