how much of a lift do u want? i just recently did the BJ spacer up front, gain 1.5" lift. for the rear i just did the zuk mod. once u have it all installed, u can mess with your torsion bars to even the ride height out. also i would rec getting the diff and sway bar drop kit. the diff drop kit will help with cv wear

Heads any lift or bigger tires is going to add extra wear on the front end...

seriously though, your best bang for your buck is keeping your body lift and adding BJ spacers and add a leafs, ZUK coils, or blocks. Those 4-6 inch suspension lift kits out there are a waste of money. just meant for mall crawling pavement pounders! Save your money for some good tires, or put it into regearing for those 35 inch tires or maybe a locker.

I wouldn't say they're a waste of money.....if you put the kit together with the right components.

My usual philosophy on wear is that it's future me's problem. If you start modifying your truck, by the time your half baked engineering wears out a component you'll know exactly how to fix or upgrade it. I'd stick IFS and learn its ins and outs before SASing. It's really a pretty good suspension that can take a lot of abuse and has solid potential for modification. I vote for BJ spacers and torsion crank!

i put in 1.5" bj spacers with 6" shackles in the back a few weeks ago. my tie rods and idler arm were going anyways so i put in the spacers and replaced the steering components after. they arent that hard to replace or work on even with limited experience and def wont be if you have that extra room with the lift
