Well if you're not going to be beating on it offroad. Save the money and go with a 6" Procomp Stage 1 kit. It's going to look a lot better than a body lift and it'll cost nearly the same. Down the road you could upgrade to the Procomp Stage 2 shocks or something else to get some more performance out of the kit. I think that's your best bet. Of course if you want to spend more money than you could go with a kit like the Fabtech 6" which is probably the best widely available lift kit for your truck. The Rize lifts are not made for 2WD trucks, unfortunately. I'm also not completely positive about the RCD kits either.

this is very true!
For example
The Procomp Stage I will not hold up to medium-hard offroad use, the spacer the use to achieve front lift is not meant for punishment.
The Procomp Stage II replaces the spacer with adustable coilovers, thus removing a weak point in the design.
The basic Fabtech (might come with dirtlogics or that might be an upgrade) will take a medium-hard offroad with minimal preoblems.
The Fabtech with DL's and RIZE lifts are gonna be your best bets for hard-extreme offroading.
RCD, CST and BDS (i think) are other companies that are worth a looks

The Autospring is not an adjustable coilover. It's simply just a spacer/leveling kit that bolts to the top of the coilver thus not needing to take apart the coilover like the Daystar type kits.

Its just that alot of them overlap. Usually people are pretty quick to reply, it is a generally friendly & helpful forum. Good luck with your new truck
