Just FYI, easiest, cheapest and best are normally mutually exclusive terms.

There are plenty of threads on the topic here, you should be able to find one no problem. Make sure you get an alignment after installing the kit.

hellbent steel... leveling kit... ebay is the cheapest... you can offer them like 65 bucks.. they will accept... free shipping to your door..... if you know how to change a ball joint you can do the kit your self.... you will need a BA socket... theres a thread in the how to section showing how to do the install... its really easy after you complete one side you will be able to do the other side in like 25 mins.... you can rent the socket you need from auto zone ... and you will need an allignment ..as already stated

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ read that thread... hell i did all that work for you... i accept paypal

i got the 3 inch... but alot of people with the 4x4 only go 2.5 becouse they think its too hard on the cv joints and ball joints....

I will say that the ball joint angles are pretty tight... but it doesnt bother me ...much lol
