    Evening,

    I have been on the interwebz all day looking at different lift kits and I am getting a little overwhelmed with all the information here.

    At first I was looking at just getting a leveling kit but have heard sometimes the ride quality isn't all that great. So I started looking at suspension type lifts. I was first sent to pro comps website and saw this:

    http://www.procompusa.com/prodDetail.aspx?partNo=EXPK5081B&catID=1&subCat=38&ptID=3533&plID=1808

    I like it (mainly because of the price) but didn't like how the rear was just sitting on blocks. I am going to add Dakars to the rear. I figure for 350 bucks its worth it.

    After looking at that kit I took a look at Toytec website and really liked this kit:

    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Bilstein-Adjustable-lift-kit-with-5100-shocks_p_132.html

    However I don't want the AAL (since Ill be getting the Dakars). I plan on going with 2.5 ish in the front with the 2.5 dakars in the rear. I don't necessarily want to go the full 3 inches due to have to get new UCA's.

    I want a very nice ride quality and also want to spend around 800-900 bucks for the whole kit and cobutle.

    Let me know what you guys think. I am open to any and all suggestions.

    Just because you don't go to 3 inches of lift dissent mean you won't or can't have alignment issues.

    Well there are a lot of options. Staying under 2.5" up front will help avoid the need for aftermarket UCAs.

    Glad you answered,

    I think I am going with the OME Kit with Dakars in the rear and 885 coil in the front. With TC UCA's.

    That should give me about a 3 inch lift correct?


    This is what I am going for: (sorry if this is your truck/picture....just wanted to get some sort of reference)
