    There is no "best" way to lift. It depends on your intended use of the truck and your pocketbook. I have OME all around with "Air Lift" levelers on the rear. Perfect for me going off road in the Rockies and the desert of Utah, as well as pulling a small boat when loaded with camping & fishing gear. If you aren't leaving the pavement that would all be a little over-kill for you.

    Use the search feature and you'll find tons of info on lifts. I looked up some lifts on the net then asked about them on here if I couldn't find them. Welcome to the site. also if you tell us what your intended use for the truck is the better we will be able to give you some satisfactory answers. Welcome to TW. We can't wait to tell you what we did to our trucks and show you some pics.
