Thanks for the compliment.

Here's the kit i had on my old truck. Comes with everything you need. They advertise it as 3'' now, when I bought mine a little over 3 in a half years ago it was advertised as a 3.5''. Idk if there's a noticeable difference or not. I ran this kit for over 3 in a half years with the 1.5'' spacer and 3'' blocks and never had one problem. If you ever want to go a little higher you can stick a 1.5'' spacer in there like I did and run some 3'' blocks. But this a good kit to get you started. One more thing too, this kit is not hard to install. Just takes a little time. Wayyyyy easier than a body lift.

Or If you think you could hold out a little longer, you could just get you a 7.5'' fabtech and go to 35s. lol

Ok ya not a bad price either it's only like 200 more than a BL and does it mess with anything mechanical on the truck. (New at this)

No, at least it didn't mess with anything mechanical on mine, but I ad a 97 and xl so there weren't any options to interfere with. I don't think there are any sensors down there on a 01. Maybe someone else can chime in on that. The only thing I had to take off and leave off was the stock break dust cover. Its like a thin little piece of metal screwed to the stock spindle if I remember right. I never noticed any difference after I took it off. My wheels where never black or got dirty. Maybe they redesigned it now, so you can put it back on. lol You will need an wheel alignment though after you install it.

If you are trying to get a shop to do a body lift expect 800 for labor
