1. Procomp front kit with shocks
2. Downey back 1.5" spacer kit
3. Procomp back springs
4. 33" tires of course

Is that enough for about even lift?

I think you'll need a panhard drop bracket, extended brake line, and something else. I can't remember right now.

I don't know much about Pro-comp lifts but if there is any kind of optional braces for it buy them. My Superlift had an optional lower control arm brace kit and it is well worth the extra money. This brace helps keep the front wheels from being pushed backward toward the rear wheels. Like if you ran straight head-on into a curb or something, the brace supports the whole front suspension from being bent backwards.

Ought to get longer rear control arms for the rear and adjustables on top to keep the pinion angle somewhere near usable.

Sounds pretty decent.

What stage front lift are you going with?

I am just thinking of forgetting this whole downey thing and getting rear kit. What do you guys think? Is rear Pro comp kit really that bad?

If it adds brackets to the control arms, which I am pretty sure it does, then I would not use it.

This summer I bent one control arm a lot, one a little and hammered both stock control arm mounts. If you wheel it on the rocks, this too will happen to you. The last thing that I would want is a bracket making it lower and inherently weaker.
