Use the search feature. There are a million threads on here about lifts, and many good options to go with.

We would recommend buying a lift based on your needs! What size tire are you looking to run? Where do you want it to be in the future?

Good luck with your build!

That would be a budget boost kit that retained the stock coils/shocks to keep the ride the same. However if you add heavy bumpers/etc then you will want coils instead, since factory coils tend to compress with added weight. What size of tire do you want to end up with?
