Unless you've done a lift before it'd be stupid not to read the instructions.
A lift kit with the least amount of cutting is mcgaughys 6.5" lift, typical cutting of driver side crossmember bracket and one 9/16" hole to drill and absolutely no cutting/trimming of the front differential. This is your #1 kit if you want the smoothest install. CNC cut heavy steel parts with cnc welds which are flawless but like I said if your not a mechanic or this is your first lift install and dead set on installing then grab a buddy and 2 free days off

What can you afford? I didn't read the entire responses to the thread, so forgive me if this has been asked and answered already. What are your reasons for the lift(offroading, a pavement queen, etc. etc)?

Lol!! Never thought of it that way, but I guess you right. Mine's seen its fair share of mud, and I'm Still not scared to get it dirty, but day to day, she's a pavement princess with a good shine and clean wheels and shined tires.

I can afford any of them. That doesn't mean I want to blow my money.

Thank you. This is info I'm looking for. If it's easier/better I don't mind paying more. Btw there will be a "mechanic" helping as well as another person. We will have 3 people helping at some point. I have the lift for 1.5 days.

Then you obviously can't if you're worried about blowing money.
