Im goin on a camping trip in a few weeks and we are gonna do some off roading so i was thinkin about tryin to throw a small lift on my truck. My leaf springs and shocks are pretty beat and i was originally just going to replace them but Ive been lookin around and suddenly a 3-4 inch suspension lift appeals to me. My truck is a 1980 4x4 shortbed with a 1981 22r. Ive been looking on the internet at different suspension kits and noticed there is a wide variety. some look like they require a lot of welding and some look so simple that I cant help but question there functionality. Im not going to be doing any real technical crawling on this trip so with that in mind what would be a good kit for me?

 

The 2" OME kit is a good option, mild lift, works well and bolts up to all the stock brackets:
