You need to decide how much lift you want. There are leveling kits that change the torsion bar keys and either a block or add a leaf for the rear that lift in the 2-3 inch range, cost is a few hundred dollars if you do it yourself to $2,000 to have it done. Usually the shocks will need replaced too. More than that and your looking at changing the A arms etc. I think the Dixon brothers in Las Vegas that offer a complete lift package with off road mods for more wheel travel in the $4,000 to $5,000 range, need to Google them.

 

well i decided to go with a complete suspension lift doing a 4 inch rancho lift on 35's thanks for the help tmw much appreciated
