3 inch lift

Also remember the golden rule: if you lift more than 3" you should do a diff drop. Someone correct me if that mentality has changed.

You shouldn't use the diff drop because they don't do anything. Over 3 inches of lift on a 4wd needs a drop bracket lift which is a big diff drop but there's engineering to it however you reduce ground clearance and you have to cut the OEM from crossmember.

How about the Tuff Country easy ride 4 inch lift for only $700. You get shocks and upper control arms.
Little extra cash but won’t ruin your present suspension. Those cheap spacer lifts cause havoc CV boots, struts everything. $300 savings cost you about $1,800 down the road. I know it happened on my 05

This kit uses spacers. Anything with "Country" in the name should be avoided at all costs.
 
Yes I agree. Although the Tuff Country has an upper and lower spacer it seems they were trying to address the angle issue which years the CV bots and causes problems later on
I guess you get what you pay for.

That's a little bit better than the regular ol bolt on spacer kit. It still uses a bolt on spacer, but smaller, along with a preload spacer, must disassemble strut to install. The shocks in the pic are for the rear, they're fine, I personally do not like lifting the rear with blocks. Upper A arms are good. I've heard not so great reviews about similar lifts. In my opinion there are still better setups for the ~$1,000 range with all 4 shocks, front coils and an add-a-leaf. There's my two pennies. Haha
