Well, I did it, yes I did it. I went and bought me a 3" black diamond lift.

4wheelparts had it on sale, so I bought. Now I just need tires, shocks, and wheel spacers. I already have my rims. Crager Soft 8 15x10.

Default Congrats

You'll be happy with it and you can upgrade from your start point easily. I've been very happy with mine.

imo your better off buying some more wheels, 16" or 17" than the spacers. If you go the Spidertrax their gonna run you $200 plus shipping. You can get 4 17x9's for just a little more. I bought spacers and paid 2nd day to get them here (so I was in for almost $300 before it was all said and done) then ended up sending them back and buying wheels (the local Discount Tire wouldn't put the spacers on).

Just my .02

The BD is a 3", the Superlift version is the 4"
