I went with a Fabtech 6in. kit . Give josh at Sportztrailers a call . He was the cheapest I could find. 1-866-922-0093. ext.107 .

ill list some choices for you:

2 1/2 leveling kit
3 inch body lift
(IDNC76 is running this set up)

6" lift (pro comp is most popular for 2wd)
(wxscpo is running this set up)

6" lift
2" leveling kit
1 1/2" AAL or Shackle Lift
(i believe chaz is running the set up)

all three choices you will clear 35's and they will not look to small.

^^Agreed. The 6" Fabtech is probably your best bet or you could go with the Procomp.

Fabtech, their kits for the 2004+ are very well liked around here and look very well constructed and have very little negative buyers.

i hate how people suggest crap. the guy asked whats the BEST supension?! that would not ever include procomp! not to offend any of you but procomp is sh*t! which is why it is cheap. you get what you pay for. for a cheaper lift which IMP is good i would either go with a fabtech or RCD.

he said not an outrageous price. pro comp is a decent kit if your not doing serious offroading.

I dont think RCD makes a kit for the 4x2.

Also, RCD makes a great 4.5" lift for the 4x4, especially with bilstien shocks included. You can adjust it to 6", but this stresses your CV angles and UCA/balljoint angles. I wouldn't recommend spending 2600 bucks on a 6" lift that wont even give you factory angles.
