Question 2" lift possible for my 4x4 5-speed?

A local guy has 2" lift kits (universal?) for less than $45. Is it possible, and what is involved in installing one of these in my 2001 ext. cab. 4x4 flareside? Thanks!!!

Just remember you get what you pay for. IMO, those blocks look a tad less than strong to me. I'd stay the hell away from it if I was you.

Those blocks look like something you'd buy for a Geo Tracker er something.

Powerstroke is right. Get the Performance Accessories kit. It includes everything you need to complete the lift. Those blocks do look a little cheesy and where are the bumper relocation brackets and steering extension?

The bumper brackets are on the right side of the picture in the middle. Thats all there is to them (pretty cheesy) even the PA ones are like this so when you're done your bumpers are all show and no go. You also don't really need any of the extensions that come with the PA kit. I used the steering and transmission brackets, but supposedly you don't need transmission bracket, and I know on ranger you don't need the steering extension either. I'd have to take another quick look at my steering shaft to see if its possible to not use one, but when its -10 outside, no chance.
