ok so i found a full leveling kit
t-bar keys
3in blocks and u-bolts
and 4 new nitro 9000 shocks
all for $189.95
looks like a good kit to me, the full kit

does anyone have this kit?
how are the shocks?

i am also looking to do the zone 1.5 in body lift to equal about 3.5in lift

i want a few inches without breaking the bank
i cant go camping when i am lowered

if i could afford it i would buy the rough country 6in lift for $1200 but i can get the leveling kit and the body lift for $400 shipped

Stay away from torsion bar keys. They are a cheap way to lift, but lead to excessive wear on the front end, poor ride, and if you do 4x4 launches you'll bend tie rods.

Both kits are of good quality and you shouldnt have any problems with either..
As to what Tim said-ive have my lifted for 70k+ miles and havent had the need to replace any frontend parts ..That being said if you crank it all the way up its gonna eat ball joints..
As far as ride quality,just remove the sway bar in the front...

i might have mine done before yours im just trying to figure out what size tires to run i was thinking 285s

jimbob1

i ran 285 when my truck was stock with no problems so i would go bigger than that
i dont know the metric sizes but i think 305 would be a 33 and it would fit no problem
if you want the same thing i am doing i just sent an e-mail to zone to see if i could get the whole kit from them instead of ordering the body lift from zone and the leveling kit with shocks from rough country.... maybe they will cut me a deal if so i will post it up here
