Trust me, I know the feeling. If your lift is fine now, I would throw the money else where.

Ok I got a budget boost, 2" rear and 3" front. I also got new OEM leaf springs, should I install the 3" front or get 2" front spacers?

4.5 and 33s sucks if not done correctly.... Ask me how I know. Get quality parts and anything else you need first.

Either shock will do. Either shock that comes with that kit is still a a plain ole white body shock. You'll never know the difference with your mud wheelin.

I'd suggest a FSC on 52's.

Excuse the nube question but. FSC on 52's? If we're talking tires I'm not planing to go over 30", the only reason I'm going with 3" lift is because I want full leaf packs and can't find a more affordable way to get 2" of lift with all new equipment.
