Re: Lift

For $600, that's probably safer than building your own.

You could look for a used kit. Call your local 4wd shops and see if they have one for sale. You may also check on sites like pirate4x4.com and ck5.com.

Re: Lift

You could buy new front lift springs and do A shackle flip In the rear. Still Gets you four inch lift in the rear but you use your stock Springs. Unless you Need new springs this would work and save a little money. But there really isn't a cheap safe way to build your own lift. Unless you are a engineer and master welder is just buy a kit.
