    for 500 aal is your only option

    I think that might be a little harsh. Billies have a stellar reputation for a reason. Hundreds of guys run 5100's at all 4 corners with an AAL. It's the best budget true suspension lift for the price.

    The OP stated he wanted a lift for looks and mild off road trips to hunt. Billies will meet and exceed those limitations with ease. If the OP was doing more extensive off roading then a new leaf pack would be recommended. But Homertaco and DonnoD run billed up front on their rigs and they wheel a lot.

    Either way the billies for the OP's stated budget will be the best bet IMHO.

    Sorry for the new guy post... I have been reading this website for 2 weeks and I thank you guys for all the information. Can someone give me some detail about this 5100's and AAl...
    Are you saying that Bilistien 5100's on all 4 corners..?
    What is AAL...?
    What is the Lift height that you will get from this, front and Rear..?

    I keep reading things on here and when I go to my local truck place they tell me something different... I was actually suppost to bring my truck in there this morning for a rough country lift but I have cancelled it because of what I found on this website.... I have the same interest as the OP (want a lift, dont do much off road with the exception of hunting) Thanks in advance for the help....

    OME all around. SPC UCA. This and that.
    New leaf pack is better but will cost you $400+. Stock leafs suck balls. I have Billie 5100 all around with Toytec 1.5" AAL/TSB and OME 884 coil overs. I bought a Leer topper and factory Leafs with TSB and AAL are hurting. If I were you on a budjet I would do...

    TSB if you can with AAL.
    5100 all around
    OME coil overs.

    Do all the work yourself. I took the stock shocks off and took them to a shop down the street to put together the front coil overs. $30 for the work. I hate spring compressors. I used them on my 1997 lift and they scare me. This will cost you around $700 and you would have a nice lift.

    TSB AAL= $85
    Bilistien at 4 corners $335
    OME Coils (is this the same as coil overs, see link below) $170

    Total=$590 (did i miss something and is this correct)

    What advantage does changing out the coils give you..?
    Can I do without the changing the coils?
    Will I only have 1" of down travel on the Bilistien if I use the 2.5" setting?
    What about Brake Lines? Will they need to be lengthened?
