lifts....so many..ask yourself, what do you want to do? what is your objective?..i personally went with the fabtech 6" lift. i initially started with the dirtlogic coilovers..after 2 years, changed to the icon 6-7" coilovers...dont get me wrong, i really liked the dirtlogics, but the icons....deff have a much better understanding of why they have the reuputaion they do!!!

Hi, I have the 3" Rough Country Lift, I'm very pleased with it as this is my everyday ride it's enough lift for decent off road clearance while staying behaved on tarmac. I installed it with a buddies help in 4 hours and I'm running 265/75/16 ProComp Mud terrains which I love. Overall I'm very pleased with my set up, hope this helps! As you can see the wifes seems to like the set up to!
