$650 4" lift will not come with an adjustable tracbar or adjustable LCA's and it will drive like crap on the freeway. + 4" is to much lift for 35's ... many are using 3.5 - 4.5" lifts with 37's

I'm running Northridge 4x4's "OME LT Kit". I think it's $1600, but gives you a good 3" and accommodates my 35's nicesly.

It includes the following:

HD OME coils
Long Travel OME shocks
Front & Rear Adj track bars
Adj front lower control arms
extended bump stops
extended brake lines
extended sway bar links

If you want to piece it together you can do that as well. The OME HD coils and shocks kit is around $800 and then you can add other suspension components as you see fit.

True but when you're talking about adjustable track bar and LCA you're not talking a $1000 like his budget

the rockrawler lift is 900 + 4 bilstiens are 320 which isn't much over budget. Save an extra $200 bucks and get a lift that will not make you hate the ride. He said he wanted a Quality lift. He has to figure out if he wants quality or just something to make it fit bigger tires like I did with Rough Country.

I recommend the RockKrawler 2.5 stock mod. This is an excellent quality lift that can be upgraded later on if need be. With Bilstein shocks this kit runs around $900 and comes with disconnects, front track bar and rear tb bracket. I'm very comfortable with the steering that I won't be getting front LCAs but I would recommend getting extended brake lines cause this kit flexes ridiculously awesome when disconnected. Extended brake lines would bring you in right around the $1000 mark.

Im about to put a 2.5 inch spacer kit from rough country on mine. The lift is only like 150 bucks and i been running 35's for 5 month now and it flexes ok. I got the bushwacker fender flares and im hoping to trim the body behind the door so it wont rub. After i get that trimmed i will be able to flex more(too afraid of poping the tire).


The spacer kit will keep it riding almost the same and gives you more money to spend else where.
