    You've got many options! A good problem to have. Sounds like this will be more for aesthetics. I'd consider the good ol' bilstein 5100 or eibach if all you want is 3" lift

    2-2.5 is considered a better target because of less strain on the front geometry, in particular CV joints.

    Remember that suspension lifts do not raise the low point of the vehicle, that being the axle lines. Only the radius of a taller tire does that.

    @memario1214 of hotshot offroad would be good to speak with about your options.

    Welcome to TW!

    It really depends what you want to do with your truck and how much you wanna spend. If it’s mainly a daily driver you’d go with one set, maybe Bilstien 6110/5160 or Eibach 2.0, in the up to 1500 (I think) price range. If you wanna spend a little more there is the Fox 2.5 or Dobinson MRR. The Dobinson have 3 adjustment knobs that you can use to change the ride. Those kits are 2-3K I think. Then you’d need new leaf packs or blocks.


    best bet, reach out to @memario1214 or @Crikeymike let them know how you wanna use your truck and see what they recommend.

    Each of them have their own shops and are vendors here on TW.

    rotated tires changed oil threw out the old air freshener.
    It's really hard not to judge.

    But easy to remain silent.

    Is $600 per inch “over the top”?
    Because any decent 3” lift with the correct components will run that or more.
