search more on the topic. What do you want to do with your truck is the first question. Solid axles for wheeling always and IFS for daily driver comfort.

Thanks you know I used to ask a few questions kinda similar and have been flamed and whatnot because of it. I dont want to be an ass in the situation but it has been disgust so often and it will always be ultimately the choice of what you want from your rig. One person can tell you this than another that. Its all up to you and the direction you want it to go. Ide say look into the the topic by searching mods like lifts, tires ,ect and you should find all and more of what your looking for. Good luck in your search for the best lift and BTW I used Allpros kit and really liked. Theres always some things I would change but it has done great for me. Marlin sells a great one same with trail gear, sky manufacturing, frontrange offroad, offroad sollutions, and so much more. I would say not to go with any kind of IFS lift if you want to really get into wheeling. Swampers are also were its at

It took losts of time and research on how to do it and how I wanted to do it. I used an engine crane to get it lifted and I cut anything in its way till I got it as high as I wanted it. Its lots of work but will be worth it in the end. I cant stress the searching factor of any build. I would say to anyone that wants to do it to just do it. Believe me it has taken lots of time and will continue to but patience makes perfect Check out Offroad solutions for a nice 3link coil suspesion. Ide like coils in the future. It is an expensive way and trickier way to do it but can yeld amazing flex and offroad capability. If you can do fab work yourself you will also be able to make a customized rig however you want it which I believe is the sickest way to go.

First person to ask. I actualy just got a new job working for API(Applied Precision) We make things like Microscopes and computers to support Cell research and other types of Scientific Research. We sell things to shcools like Harvard and Yale and hospitals. Pretty cool stuff. Before that Ive been having myself a vacation not working since last April just about. To get there I worked at Papa Murphys Pizza, UPS and Callifornia Overnight (mini UPS like work) I was a supervisor at all and work very hard for my money to support my hobbies of Trucks, guitar, snowboarding and of course Women Work hard and take pride in your work can get you things like ive gotten myself. I may have alot of cool tools and toys to play with but all have taken lots of work to get.
