I pieced together my own lift "kit". My main goal is ride quality. I went with BDS 4" lift springs for the front and DIY4X4 4" Shackle flip kit with extended shackles for the rear with new rear leaf springs. (4.5" to 5" lift on rear.) I also went with Bilstien shocks. I still need minor things like U-bolts and the bushings. Planning on greasable poly bushings. Might cost a little more, but buy your parts as you can afford them and piece yourself together a quality suspension.
