or do most come with drop-pitman and idler arms... or steering nuckle risers...

I'll admit, I haven't looked into the components a bracket lift all that much after seeing the price of a basic kit

I honestly believe that for a pickup the best way to get a little lift, even with worn out springs bleeder, is to do a BJ spacer up front and a ZUK coil in the rear. My spings have 180,000 miles on them and were flat as heck. The ZUK mod in the rear lifted it back up almost 2 inches over stock and created a LOT of load capacity back there. The ride improved a heck of a lot and even with the back end stacked full of firewood it sagged very very little and I still made it the couple of miles back off of the mountain where I "found" the wood without any odd ride qualities in the back end.

The other option is to do the BJ spacers up front and replace the rears with some 2" lift springs.

I have seen some that will do a T-bar crank in the front and some blocks in the rear but you end up with a stiff ride in the front end and (what I consider) a weak link in the blocks on the back. Not to mention that the blocks don't increase the distance between the rear bump stop and the frame stop so getting the rig "pushed over" in a flex situation is still an issue.

So that's my .35$
