Default Looking for a lift....

I've been searching the forum for this information and either none exist, or I missed it, but just in case I want to ask...

Does any manufacturer market a lift with the following features:

2-2.5" (yes, a fairly short lift kit)

Replace control arms with ones that allow caster adjustment.

Adjustable track bars (not brackets - can't tell you the number of brackets I've had to reweld)

Would prefer new springs (heavy duty for winch and rack)

Shocks are not required, but if they are included have to be top quality.

As far as I know, and someone will certainly correct me if I'm wrong, there is no "kit" under 3" that features all these parts. I think the only (and probably best) way to get everything you want is create your own by getting different parts from different vendors. Will be expensive though. If I'm remembering right you were looking for a shorter lift because of your state's lift law correct?

csorensen is right, there are no 2"-2.5" kits that come complete with adjustable control arms and track bars. And, I would argue that the control arms really aren't needed with this little amount of lift and while an adjustable front track bar would help correct the very minor 1/8"-1/4" axle shift, it really isn't needed. In fact, some adjustable track bars out there have a minimum lenght that will actually end up over correcting your shift even at its shortest setting. Of course, in the rear you could just get away with a drop bracket if you really feel the need for it.

I hear it is a two inch but people have been getting more out of it... I can't remember who has it but they seem to like it a lot... This may be what I eventually go with....

Yeah, the OME kit measures closer to 3" and it doesn't come with adjustable control arms or track bars.
