I do not know what shocks to get.
i want about 3'' of lift in the front from the shocks and i offroad a little bit.
as long as i dont bottom out easily im happy.

all i have on my truck is 2'' leveling kit in the front
and my budget is about $500

Call PRGreg , he has a new Radflo 2.5 model for the front and I think there a little less than the Sway-A-Way's

radflos were 750 when i got mine. also you may want to check out the buy/sell section, you may be able to pick up a good set of used coilovers that are within your budget. also have you looked at the Rough Country 3" lift? its not new shocks, but i think you may be able to afford that setup

I briefly saw the new Radflo 2.5 body coilovers last weekend and they looked extremely nice. To me, they had a very "high-tech" look that went well with the silver coil springs. Greg said that they are more compliant than some of the other coilovers.

Also, saw the Radflo 2.5" emulsion rears on Jen's X-terra. They look massive! Apparently there's an external reservoir version available too.
