What is the difference between these two lifts?

Are you doing install yourself? Because if not a 5" springtech installed will come out to be about the same price as getting that bodylift combo installed. And for a like 200 more or so you can go full 6.5" springtech. Just something to think about. Suspension labor is generally cheaper than body lift labor because the work isn't as time consuming for a shop to do.
Is there a specific tire size you want to run?

Well, I am wanting something that looks bigger. I want it to look lifted but I dont want it lifted so high that I have to change all sorts of stuff on my truck. I am wanting to change my tires and wheels anyways. So maybe like 33's or 35's. I don't think I would install it myself, Im not sure. How difficult is it to install? Do you have a link to the Springtech lifts? I cant find them.

Also they sell them on ebay, that's where majority of us order them from. They're also sold under the name Canuck Motorsports, and they're the exact same as Doestch lifts with just a different name on it and for a couple hundred less, my control arms with my lift came in a Doestch box ha.
Install isn't too bad for a suspension lift if your good with tools, have patience, and all the tools you'll need. A body lift is a little more involved and usually a 2 day 2 man process. Again if you have the patience in and time it's not too bad, but if you want it done in a day a shop can knock it out pretty quick for you for either one.
Also do you know your stock gear ratio in your truck? They'res a axle code inside your driver side door jamb on a white sticker that has it listed, you can just google that to get your gear ratio.

06yz250f, I just got this truck and I don't know much about them since it is my first vehicle. You dont have to be a *******, I know how to use google. Im not lazy either, I will outwork your *** anyday of the week. By the way thanks to everybody else who are helping.

It will say axle code and have something either listed below it or beside it, I don't remember. For example mine says axle code - H9 which translates to a 3.55ls. And a real good gear ratio for what? A good ratio depends on what the truck is used for.
Here's a chart, just scroll down to see it and use that to figure out what you have.

Okay, that's definitely a good starting point then if you plan to go to 33's or 35's, you'll see some power loss and mpg loss but it won't be horrible. I average about 12-14mpg with 35's and all the stuff on my truck so you'll be somewhere around there with 35's and a little better with 33's.
