There's a sheist ton of them out there for your truck. Going for looks, or for performance? That will dictate who from, and what you buy.

i already have one from hell bent steel, i just need to find a place to install it. Im going for looks and performance (if theres a performance side to it?) Ive already decided one 1 of 2 wheels for my truck and im stepping down a bit in tire aggressiveness as im looking pretty heavy n hard into the Goodyear Duratracs.

yeah but id like a lift so i can let my suspension sag to get it between the coil and the top arm piece
Rent a set of coil compressors and use a set of jack stands under the frame.
It's a couple hour install.

yea your install is easier than our IFS system, and I got mine done in a few hours
Dont forget about the alignment afterwards though, but im sure yours isnt as bad as ours (and you might not even really need one)

It's a level not a lift. i'm sure it's easier than mine was. I still didn't align mine yet, I need an excuse for new tires SShhhhh!!!! can't tell the gf, it's her purse strings that need separating lol

Super simple bud. I actually used a set of strut compressors from O'reilys. Worked out tons better for me. But as a tip if you do it yourself unbolt the shock at the top and try to get your jack to go higher than like the foot of travel. I know its a bad thing but I used my transfer case skid plate to get mine up high enough. if ya unbolt the shock and can get it high enough it will practiacally fall out. but putting the spacer in and then the spring whole new story. That's where the compressor comes in handy. But that's my .02
