    Op you can get lift kits starting from $300 spacers to $500-$700 coil+shocks or a majority of different setup options for 3 inches, but when it’s all said and done will you be satisfied looking at your truck knowing you didn’t take the time and love you should’ve in research and prep?
    Picture this “You pull up to your local mall, your girl is standing there at the entrance waiting to jump in your fine obsession you pour payments, blood, sweat and tears into and as soon as you start driving away over that 6 inch speed bump you hear “BANG” your front suspension is making a irritating noise and on top of that it’s rock hard as SHIT!

    You look over at your girl and she is dizzy from the bumpy ass road...




    On the other hand there are some pros.

    How big of a block used on your leveling kit? If you take a picture of your front shocks that would help. Like said previously it looks like you already have a 3 in lift. It will look taller if you took off your lower sitting accessories like the steps and bull bar.

    Attached is a link to multiple suspension kits. I would wait because $600 budget isn't feasible when you are looking for it to ride decently.

    Are you 2wd or 4wd? If you are 2wd you can get spindles for the front and easily add 4 inches.

    just make sure to check your blinker fluid after your lift. it tends to leak when you lift it over 3 inches
