Well, it's a bracket lift kit.
Ok for mall crawlers and light off roaders, but if you really plan to wheel your vehicle it's not what I would use.
Seen way too many of 'em bend/break.

What do you want to lift your vehicle for ?

It is one of the better bracket lifts if that is the route you choose to take. I've seen them much cheaper on EBAY.

Well then you probably don't need any lift, much less a bracket lift, do you ?
A lift isn't going to "show them up"... .

Throw a rear locker in your truck and you'll definately show them up.

A locker would definately make that rear tire situation 100% better.

Cheapest, simplest would be a Lock Right, you could put it in yourself (you have to take your diff out to install it). Do a search on this site for "lock right locker" and read about them.

Anywhere from around $300 to around $1000, plus installation. The cheaper "lunchbox" style lockers i.e. a lockrite, are fairly simple to install with a few hours and basic tools. Just a suggestion, but it would seriously make your rig alot more capable than a big lift, and can be cheaper too.

Doesn't sound like you quite know what you want. Your not going to get everything you want with 850, you can do quite a bit, but not everything. What does nice looking mean to you? Any pics of your truck, other than your avatar?
