Big difference between those kits, the dual steering stabilizer is not needed. Once you start going above 3", you need to look at adjustable control arms or at least drop brackets for your stock arms.

Before you do anything, start with what size tire you want to run, what type of wheeling do you plan on doing and what's your budget.

We have a wide variety of 2.5" system that you might want to check out that are easily upgradeable all the way to a long arm system if you would like! You can start with 35's and stock fenders and go all the way to 37's with flat fenders!

Good luck with your build. Let us know if you have any questions.

thanks everyone, i think im gonna run the bb...certainly have the budget to do the extra work but the bb is more realistic for what i do now, just some basic trail riding and mud bogs. thanks everyone for the help.
