I will answer your question, big deal that it was gone over already. We are here to help, as you can see some won't, or they say gone over already.

But think about how far you wanna lift your truck. Our kits can range anywhere really. I have a 2 inch torsion bar lift, I got new keys, best to get them to, maybe your torsion bars have sagged a bit. In the rear I have a 2 inch lift shackles. I also have the front diff. Spacers, 1.100 inch drop, they provided longer bolt, stock ones aren't long enough. Mine total with alignment cost, $550. You can lift it 1 inch or there's. 4 -5 inch lift kits but they get very expensive, over a grand anyway. There's also 1.5 - 3 inch body lifts range from $250-400, if that helps ya a bit. Installing new torsion keys and shackles is very easy. Took me about 3-5 hours depends on how fast you are. No special tools needed. No torsion bar unload tool either. That should help youa bit anyway.

I know I've asked/answered this before but don't know who it was for. Did you replace the differential bolts for your drop?

If you are looking for a mild lift, I have a set of CST 1" shackels for the rear end for sale.
