Lotsa choices out there. If your budget is really $600 then you can choose from any one them. Downey 3" recently were $200 for the pair for my 90 (their site no longer shows prices) - tacos may be different $. Alcan just quoted me $400 to build me 3" springs and they are reputed to be first rate. Lotta people on here swear by various other brands - Deaver for example being absurdly expensive but those who have them say they're worth it. Then there's Trailmaster, Rancho, etc etc etc...

Yes 600$ is the amount give or take . Their seems to be a lot of choices most sites have the front shim lift , with blocks to bring up the rear . No good mine are broken . Should I be asking for a well known vendor with all the stuff I need that can help me .

Look for springs, not complete lift kits. Most of the lift kit companies (skyjacker etc) also sell only rear springs. And Suppliers like NWOR, Downey, All Pro etc sell kits or just springs. Then there's spring companies like National Spring, Alcan, Deaver etc. that build springs just for your needs.

Thanks guys for the imput . I think some boneyard leafsprings will have to work for now . I do not like the idea of spacers up front and I can not aford too lift up the front the way I would like . 600 or 700 $ will not get me any more sus travel up front right ?
