Default Time for a chance

So here is what im thinking. Right now I have a 2006 Screw 4dr 2wd and it looks good and all but its not really my style. Its lowered two inches in the back to level it out and has some 22 inch chrome wheels. I have been doin some seachin online and have found a set of good lookin Toyo A/T 33s on Pro Comp 18s for only $1400 mounted ballanced and shipped to my door. For sure I will be taking off the drop shackles off the rear end and what to do a leveling kit on the front end. I guess my question for yall is what is the best type of levelin kit for this set up (coil spacers, torsion keys, brands)? I know this is a topic that has been beaten to death in the past but back then I didnt have the need to get involved it the thread. I would like to find something cheap. It sucks being a full time college student with little cash. Any help is good

i'll save ya just cause you're from GA like me...let's keep it simple and go with a coil spacer kit. Measure first and see how many inches you'll need. Consider AAL (Add-a-leaf) for the rear too. Hope that helps...

I have done a coil spacer on a friend of mines 05 single cab so puttin it on isnt gonna be a problem. I have just heard that they make the ride worse. What I figure I would do is just take out the shacles in the rear to bring it back to stock the put a 2.5 spacer in the front.
