My humble opinion is either Carli or Kore. Little more up front but better products.

It really depends how much you want to spend. You can lift 1t 2" for $100. Shes gonna ride awful though... Core makes a nice kit with new springs, and 4 shocks. Around $400 I believe.

Hey Scott, I have a 2" spacer in mine, and just some Rancho 5000's, and it rides like a Peterbilt Dump truck... Do the Bilstein 5100's make a nice ride difference?

It seems to ride alot better than the stock. and they seem to really smooth out big bumps and things like that
