    If you want to go cheap like I did, you can get a spacer lift for the front. I paid $40 for mine from a member up here and it gave me 3" of lift.
    For the rear, I'll eventually throw in an AAL to level it out with the front.
    Tires - I run 285/75/16 BFG A/T, did minor trimming on some plastic but still rub on the cab mount at the edge and will eventually need to do the CMC.
    Hope this helped a bit.

    Go to the forum list, select the appropriate category and click the button that says new thread, but if your looking for answers for the same question then there is no need to start a new thread

    Avoid spacers lifts, go with a quality setup that you can depend on. Most people will recommend old man emu. How bout some more details, what is your budget? Plan on doing alot of off roading or just dirt roads for hunting/fishing? Do you tow trailers or carry alot of weight in the bed? How big of a tire are you looking to run? 32" 33"?

    You get what you pay for. If you go cheap, you get a poor ride. Spend more money, and you get a better ride. Lots of threads on 3" lifts, so search around, read up on what might best fit your price, and pull the trigger.

    Full old man emu kit with 885 springs up front and dakar leaf springs in back, add some light racing upper control arms to make sure your alignment is spot on. About $1500 bucks for everything, the new leafs packs will hold up alot better than stock with add a leaf. Thats will get you about 3" of lift. Although if you go with 265/75r16 (70r17) its almost a 32" tire they will fit without a lift. So you could do something smaller and cheaper, like bilstein 5100 shocks up front with the stock coils, set at 1.75" of lift. Maybe the wheelers heavy duty 3 leaf add a leaf in the rear because you tow.
