Best cheap semi wheelng lift 3inch

Looking for a lift for my 84 pickup. I got 33s and don't wanna cut and beat fenders to make them fit. Don't want anything over 3 inch lift because not trying to pile money into it at the moment. Thinking about going rough country, not sure tho. I have heard mixed reviews. Any advice is good advice at this point!

Okay I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do 3 inch rough country....but I'm just gonna do blocks in the rear. Is that alright? What am I losing by not going springs?

go with springs in the rear, blocks are crap. not only do they look like ass but they've a chance to loosen and fall out. you'd be losing out on suspension travel too. I've been looking at their 3" also, I need new springs (3" on atm but with two factory sets from different platforms) but would be going with springs in the rear too.

do you have hi-steer already?

the drag-link will keep your driver side from dropping fully under negative load, forcing your axle to hang by it. that's not a good thing
