    Coilover springs are what 90% of the people on here have. If you plan on wheeling your truck, i would heavily suggest getting some coilover springs and extended shocks. If you dont plan on wheeling, just get some spacers

    Okay, so it sounds like you already have a 2.5" spacer lift in the front.

    Its up to you man. Its going to cost around $400-$1000 just for parts depending on the brand you get. And that only the front.

    Honestly dude..new advice.

    Go do some searching and reading. Figure out what you want the. Go from there. There are tons of pics and inf on all this here. Go check out some build threads too to see other guys rigs.

    You have a lot of reading to do and understanding to wrap your head around I think.
