    And what do both lifts consist of? Spacers? If so I wouldn't put spacers on top of spacers.

    Remember that you get what you pay for and you are wanting to put low quality components on a 15k$ truck, i dont understand why but you do you. the previous owner i bought my truck from had a 2" spacer kit and put 285s on it. they "fit" meaning they worked on the truck but i would rub at lock in reverse and also on bumps

    Just take the time and the money to do it right, that is my plan, sure it sucks a lot waiting but I don't want to go cheap and fast and end up regretting it.

    I'm still saving but the plan is Bilstein products mostly, that suspension will give you the best bang for your buck. Just search around and do some research and you'll find what is perfect for you.

    headstrongoffroad.com sells a great Bilstein kit for next to nothing, I would definitely check them out.
