Default Lift help?
I am going to be lifting my truck soon. I already have 4in blocks for the rear. What all will I need to get for up front?

Drop brackets, drop pitman arm, radius arm drop brackets and lifted coil springs. Maybe ext brake lines and more than likely shocks lol

I'm trying to steer away from rough country. I've heard many complaints about how cheaply made the parts are

I've had a rough country for years now and the only complaint I have is the crappy coating job on them. Otherwise I've had no problems. But I don't go wheeling either. It's a mountain driver.

Do you really need the drop brackets and all? I've been told yes and no

Gotta have the drop brackets...unless you go with the longer radius arms you won't need the radius drops. But still need the ttb drops.
