Don't waste your money on a "spacer" lift.

As has already been said if your really looking for something economical go with maybe a budget boost and 33" boots. Or for a little bit more you can get a 2.5 coil. You can also get shock extensions and run your stock shocks for the time being and then upgrade when you can. Many, many options.

Again many different options to chose from. Do some searching and you'll figure it out. When it comes to tires and wheels you can save some money by running 15's compared to 17's etc.

Yes it is. And I wouldn't waste my money on one. But if your after "economical" that's the way to go. Sorry guess I worded that dumb.

Worthwhile to upgrade to a coil I think.
