    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Bilstein 5100's and AAL is about the cheapest yet better then spacer or blocks lift one should consider. Cheapest meaning the cost not the quality.

    Thats about as cheap and easy as it gets. I wouldn't run it, since I have 4wd and actually take mine offroad. If you just want the look (lifted) and don't have the money to do it right, then do it, but don't wheel it.

    That lift appears to raise the front 2.5 inches, and the rear 1.5 inches. Is that what you want?

    Spacers aren't quality. 5100s are fine
