Works great - not a kit though, threw it together myself. And the leaf springs ride like butter - smooth and flexy as hell

How much lift did it give you? I was going to buy a 3" rough country lift the start of this summer but the stupid freeze plug had to bust. So now I'm out of money and have to do a budget lift. How much did it cost you?

My tally was about $700 and a LOT of time, both rebuilding the components and looking for good deals on the best parts I could find. It can be done the same or cheaper with limited time/effort but don't expect it to perform as welll...
