It is cheaper to just run the BB with extenders and run your stock shocks until you are ready to upgrade. I ran it that way for a year and bought shocks when the ones I wanted went on sale.

If you are near Alpharetta, Southern Off Road Specialist off McFarland is pretty good but I heard 4Wheel Parts has better labor rates. Southern Off Road did mine. 3.5 lift with 35s.

Teraflex budget boost 2.5" with shock extensions 34" bfg at's on stock wheels plastidipped black. Wheel spacers
If go larger than stock tires look into getting a Procal to get your shift points back in line= keeping your gas mileage up.
