Help on picking truck
 

Alright, this will be my first truck and I would like some input on what to get. I would preffer ford, but I would like more info from what you guys have. (I have done some research through google and my friends) I have 2500 to spend, so not too much. So what would you guys suggest for a truck? Thanks.

Also how much does it cost to get a lift kit? Thanks. And here is some trucks that I was looking at. What are your thoughts/opinions on these?

Look on your local craigslist, i wouldn't buy a used vehicle from a dealer if my life depended on it
