Before anyone else reads this and flips out, I wanna kindly let you know that there are more lift kit threads on here then I care to count. Just type what you are looking for into the search button or even scroll back through a few pages of the recent threads. Then finally doing your own research along with what you read here should help you make your decision. Good luck!

^LOL

I won't flip out on you haha. I would say go big or go home... you'll only want to go bigger if you get the 4". Question is though, is it practical?

Anyhow, I would suggest a 6" lift. And since you have a 2wd (as do I), there is a limited choice. I went with Fabtech's coilover kit, and love it. Procomp and Skyjacker are a couple of other name brands that are reputable. What is your budget?

haha I just thought I'd say that before someone else decided to be an *** which we've all seen happen before... Anyways yes I have to agree with her, but you have to think about what you're gonna be using it for. I will be going with a 6" when I am ready to buy, but some people like the 4" look better and you can still fit 35's with it. So think about your needs/wants and practicality.

It might be a bit difficult to get a lift AND wheels/tires for that. Just keep saving and get what you want, because in the end, you'll be much happier. Everything on my truck is functional, but it probably won't see much offroading either lol
