lift suggestions

I have an '09 2wd that i'd like to lift 3 inches or so.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what is the best way to go about this?

I've been looking at a 0-3 inch adjustable 2.5" dirt logic coilover shock kit from fabtech but i'd like to consider all my options

Thanks

You can install a 2.5 inch leveling kit. Most are less than $100. Also, I wouldn't go 3 inches, it just leaves your ball joints at too severe of an angle to last. You can also install a 3 inch Performance Accessories body lift kit. The next option would be a 6 inch Fabtech or Pro Comp suspension lift.

Go with Autospring. They are like 70 something plus you can get it with a powder coat option if you would like as well. Depending on where you live ( rainy, snow, road salt areas ) you would want that option so it won't rust. Then get yourself an alignment and some bigger tires.

That's the cheap and easy route but so is getting the bilsteins that are adjustable up to 2inches of lift. You also get the better ride from them as well. I'm pretty sure they make them for your year truck. But I could be wrong.
