autosprings makes a good kit, the front levelin kit is 80 (for a powdercoated one) and you can get a add a leaf for the back to increase your payload and raise up the rear end, i think its like 120 for the add a leaf

the skyjakcer kit would have to be your best bet. it gives you the height and the level that you were looking for. Skyjacker has a lifetime warranty on their products too.

And I dont think that 3" lift will make your 18" rims with 33" tires look small. I think you will be happy with the Skyjacker setup. the only thing, if its the smooth ride springs, i have had bad experiences with them. (bent the front two on my '81 CJ5)

i have no experience with it, but anyone ive asked says the skyjacker is a p.o.s....
what i plan on doing is throwing on the hellbent level kit, and then replacing the rear block with a bigger one to keep the rake in the *** end..

the raisin of the front by that much by 3in, the levelin kit for the front, its supposed to be hard on your cv's, it puts them at more of an angle than what they should function at, and your balljoints will be stressed at that much of a angle

here look threw this it has alot of info, well if i remember right it does lol
