if you want it to ride good, stay away from bulletproof.

if you are on a budget but still want some nice parts contact Greg at PRG and he can hook you up with a 10" kit.

It consists of the 6" Fabtech Stage I lift with Radflo 2.5 coilovers. You crank up the coilovers and then install a 2" coilover spacer on top of the coilover. To do this you will also need PRG Upper Control Arms. In the rear you will need Deaver 2.5 leaf springs. You will also need a 4" tapered block. And then you will need to have aftermarket shocks as well.

When all is said and done you should have 10" of lift in the front and 7" out back. If that isn't enough you can add a 3" Performance Accessories Body Lift.

With a 10" lift you will be able to run 37s with only doing the pinch weld mod. With 13" of lift you will be able to run up to a 38.5" tire.

Good luck and I hope you got deep pockets.
