trail gear rear & ruf? or front lift.

I've been debating on this, my suspension needs a rebuild so I've been thinking.... I have generic front lift springs, and a rear 2inch block and a add-a-leaf. Should I go with a front lift kit from trail gear with everything to rebuild my knuckles, hi steer ect.? Or do I get hi steer, and the rear lift, and build the rear spring pack for a ruf job. Mostly dd truck, but I want to be very capible offroad. Ill post pics after work, ty in advanced

It kinda is. The complete front is cheaper than the rear and histeer, but that leaves my rear untouched....

I'm willing to spend a little more if the ruf is worth it you know what I mean? I want it to be balanced, and not rely only on the front for flex

sounds like you made the decision for yourself .... the block and add a leaf is not ideal...i say buy the rear kit and highsteer... install the rear and build a ruf pack to match. it will flex better with the longer springs up front and no blocks/ add a leafs in the back hope the helps.
