Maybe a 3 or 4 inch if possible and no they don't the only time they did was my front bumper I had to cut a little but that is cause I was in a fender bender and the brackets are bent back but I got a new bumper and brackets now and I have no problem

If you want in expensive I'd look into a rough country lift kit. For your 2wd you can get lift kit from them for $250-500. I've never heard anything bad about them. Looking into getting a rough country lift for my own truck.

How much is too much for you? Are you installing it yourself? Like previously said, you can get the rough country lifts for fairly cheap. You can also spend the money and get the big boy 7.5" fabtech lift for like 1500-1600 dollars.

If you are doing it yourself, that will save you a ton of money. As far as Ebay goes, unless it is a lift kit company selling, I wouldn't do it. If it is a company on there though, it will be the same price as just going to their website lol. The last thing I would do is buy a used lift kit.

Also, what is the most you are willing to spend? For about 200 bucks you can get a 3" body lift threw rough country, or you can double that and get the 3" suspension lift with shocks.
