TOTAL CHAOS lift question

I've got a 95 T100 (stock) I've been looking at the TC long travel kits. After I buy the kit it says I'd need they're extended axles to maintain 4WD? And it comes with the coil stuff so would I need the shock hoops also?

Okay, another question. I'm going to be using my truck for road use mainly. And some playing in the mud on the weekends. Are the LT kits a good idea? Or should I just get a Ball joint spacer and save my money? I want a good quality lift but don't do any crawling or jumping. Just playing in the mud

And I've seen the blazeland kits before, and they're nice and cheaper than TC but in the description it says I'd need new cv shafts, torsion bars, and shocks. Is that right?

just go get a bracket lift from summit racing. there's no point to long travel if you're not going to use it. bracket lifts will lift the truck and maintain the same road mannerisms.

FYI, any long travel kit is gonna require new cv joints, torsion bars and shocks. ( or coil overs, in the total chaos idea )

That's what I was thinking. But I want to maintain the same ride quantity with a good long lasting lift that won't tighten up suspension or cause anything else to wear out.

I've been trying to do as much research as I can, Google has not been one of my friends recently therefore I can't find anything to help me. That's why I turned to the forums to get some real help from people that know what they're talking about since I'm new to this stuff. I plan on getting the bracket lift you sent me the link to but was just trying to figure out whats recomended to do before installing the lift or while I have everything ready to work on in front of me like ball joints, ect.

Every buy a lift kit? I'm not a fan of leaf blocks but also a cheap spindle lift can be a nightmare too if the money isn't in the technology from the company.
