What lift? 2-3 Inch is all I want to do.

[Lake_Trash_1]

Just got the winch and bumper put together and weight is 142 lbs combined. What would you guys do for a $1000 to $1500 lift.
Camper top on the back in the near future as well.

There's a few factors you need to consider before deciding.
1) what level of offroad use? light trail riding/nothing crazy you can go with a lower cost setup
2) are you installing it yourself? if not, install will likely take up $300-$500+ of the budget
3) if you want to go over 2" lift, you'll need to get aftermarket UCAs which again will be another $300-$500+

I run the Eibach pro truck kit. It's been great so far though I haven't done much offroading with it yet. I got it for $505 shipped with $250 Icon 3-leaf AAL for the rear. Installed the rear myself but ran out of time and had a shop do the front for $180. After buying some tools and stuff I spent around $1k. However, I don't plan to do any crazy offroading as I live in FL and my options are pretty limited.

Eibach is also announcing/releasing a Stage 2 kit sometime this week I think so that might be something to look out for. Not sure how pricing will go on that.

Also, for the rear you might want to get a HD leaf pack if you're gonna have a topper and additional static weight. They run around $600+ whereas an AAL can be had for a couple hundo. Also disclaimer: I'm by no means an expert here, this is just what I found in my months of research before buying my lift lol

Thanks KnighT4CO for the reply.
Been looking at this exact kit.
Eibach pro truck kit I believe will fit my needs well. Light trail riding nothing crazy is me!
Just wonder if the added weight to the front will drop me to 1.5 inches of lift.

I think for the extra weight up front most people set it to a higher clip setting to help offset. You might also be able to request springs with a higher rate.
I'm assuming their Stage 2 kit will handle added weight better.

I also have a video about my Eibach setup if you want to see it in action:

Not quite sure yet. They haven't officially released it yet I've just seen rumblings about it on TW and other sites.

E-Mailed Eibach customer service last night to see if I could get some answers.
Thanks again

Save up for Fox or Kings if you plan to do serious offroading. I'm glad I used the "buy once, cry once" method and waiting until I had the cash for the setup I really wanted.

Also check out Accutune offroad for their blog / informational material. Super useful when picking out digressive vs progressive vs linear.

I bought straight through Eibach because they had a great Black Friday sale going at the time.
