    4wd offers complete kits. under 2 1/2" it has the springs, shocks, ubolts for springs, new spring bolts...
    Over a 2 1/2" lift they will usually come with the pitman arm and transfercase mount stuff.
    Thier(4wd) lift kit runs $499 for the 2 1/2" --But thats from my spring 2004 cataloge. (they also carry the other manufactures)

    They also have a rubber tube that you cut for body mounts. I used it on my fiberglass tub. Just a tube with a hole drilled down the middle. Cut them on the mitter saw however thick you want and I had plenty left. Can't find the price for that, but it was around $20 give or take I think.

    My Rancho 2 1/2" kit has been on for more than 13 years and still has no apparent sag, you might want to look into that also.

    In My Experience With Lifts For Your Situation I Would Just Go With A 2.5 Sky Jacker Ez Ride. They Tend To Sit A Little Lower And Clear 31 Or 32 Nicely. That Kit Rides Great On Road Smooth Ride, Plus Excellent Offroad Flex.

    Wow, roughcountry's prices are tough to beat...$379. What's the diffo in the years offered? Multiple places differentiate the springs from '55-68 and '68-'75. What're the diffos?

    Just got an email from nearby 4WD Hardware. They're having a 50% off Scratch & Dent special in their showroom beginning Monday. :shock: They sent me a coupon good for another 10% off. So.....guess where I'll be on Monday morn? :D
