LONG story short, it was in the shop more than it was on the road. The mileage charges were going to be too bad to go the Lemon Law route so with a LOT of pressure on the dealer they got me into a brand new 2006 for no cost except I lost my lift, wheels, and tires which was a lot less than the mileage charges.
i gotcha. so u planning on lifting this one now right, what r u going with this time.

Im pretty sure Im going to be going with the Rize kit, instead of the Fabtech.

Im just hoping to get the front and rear Bilsteins isn't too much more. Since by the time I'll be getting the lift, they'll be switched to the other rear shocks.

So my question is other than Rancho and RCD who offers a 4" lift. And from what I've heard the Rancho kit is actually more like a 5-6" lift. Is this true.

Ok thanks for the help.
What ball joint issues? I have only heard of 1 or 2 with problems directly related to the spacers. No problems with the 2 inch. But if you are going with a 4 inch lift, the RCD would be my choice.

either way when i called rancho they had said they heard the same thing people are saying they are getting more then 4". but they said they had the truck outside with there kit on and with 35's iwas 5.5 inches biigger then stock sooo that is from the horses mouth.
Thumper is right, me having the 2.5" spacer makes my truck the same height as a 4x4 with a fabtech kit. That said I have no clue why Silver05 goes around saying he has 8.5" of lift...
