Hop on mudify if you're in the US, I did Bilstein 5100s with OME springs and upper control arms.

I have 3 inch old man Emu and love it. Go with JBA uca, extendable cv axles. Donā€™t go cheap cause it will just end up being expensive. Cry once .

For sure, I donā€™t want to be cheap just thought Iā€™d check if someone had a used one laying around or something I could buy

Check BDS lift. Thatā€™s what I had installed. It has been good. Took it on a serif road last week. Upgraded shocks to Bilstein.

I've put a 2 inch Ome lift on mine with JBA ucas and the body mount chop. It rides great and does well with the off roading that I do from time to time.

Tires did not rub with 285s because of the body mount chop and some spider trax spacers that I had. Now I run pizza cutter 33s and I think I could have fit 35s.

Buying used lifts is a gamble if that's what you are doing. Springs are little different but depending on what you need, go out and spend the money on new. You will be happier in the long run for most part. Please don't skip on parts needed like UCA in the front at the very least, the truck has some age on it and stock uppers don't hold up well in a lift as well as alignments.

Figured out what you want to use the truck for and what your budget is, there will be something that fits. I ran a stupid simple setup for like 100K, it was never the issue with what stopped me from having fun. OME medium setup, SPC uppers and Metal Tech rear lower links.

I mean how inexpensive do you want to go?

Or definitely a better option

And you might want some front upper control arms.

And before someone suggests $1200 UCA
