buns79,I'm thinkin thats not a popular choice with most on this forum.It is priced right,but the design tends to be a little rough on some other suspension parts.For a little more money you might be better off to go with like a Rusty's coil lift.For even a little more money a Frankenlift seems to be a popular choice.This is a pretty hot topic,soI'm sure someone will have some better options.Welcome to L.O.S.T.as it will be a very addicting site to frequent.

If you do a search you will find that there are some real problems with that lift, causes upper ball joint failure etc. Not worth the hassle or money I think you will find out.

Stay away from lift kits that use the clevis or the top of the strut to gain all the lift no matter how cheap they are, as you will be replacing the kit and suspension components generally within 6 - 12 months of using them.

Spend a little more and do it right the first time, and you won't have to buy twice and go through the whole install process again.

With a little tweeking, you can get 3" out of a Rusty's coil lift.
