Well, just remember you do get what you pay for. With that aside, what kind of lift did you already put on? A 2 inch body lift? If that is what you did already, and you want a suspension lift... you will be hard pressed to find one that cheap. Unless you get lucky and find a used one in good shape. I think Rough Country is one of the less expensive kits out there.
And as far as getting more power, go with a intake (Like, K&N, AEM). And a throttle body spacer. And when you can afford it, try for a programmer (Hypertech is a good one). Then, to put all that power to good use, redo your gears front and rear. You should probably go with a ratio right around 4:10. If you are rolling 33s it is important to do your gears to get every last drop of HP to the ground. I dont feel that a 33 is neccissarily too big at all for a stock axle or gear setup (unless its a 2:something). But you will need the change to get the power. Other power adders are things like 8.8mm platinum core race wires by Accel, Platinum4 Bosch spark plugs, Belt under drive kit from companys like March Accessories. Those are all great bolt ons for any vehicle. And might even improve your gas milage a tad. |

| 3inch body lift will get you a total of 5 inches of lift. And they are reletively inexpensive. Try companies like Performance Accessories, Superlift, etc. Found you one for 188.95 plus shipping. And you should be able to install it yourself with a buddy on hand in a weekend with hand tools. |

| sorry, I meant to include this link: http://www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi-bin/suscon/113.html That is where I got the price, you will need to spry your body mounts about 3 driving days before you plan on doing the work. This way the bolts will be loose. The kit will include everything you need parts wise. If you dont do the work yourself, you can expect to pay up to 1000 dollars for labor. So get a case of beer a buddy and bust out them tools. |
