Budget 3rd gen lift?

[fins59]

I am looking into the Rough Country 3in lift. Any opinions on this? Comes with rear springs, rear shocks, and front spacers. Not doing any heavy off roading (yet) mostly just a DD. But I'd like to lift for looks and hopefully future off road. Also really need new springs/shocks in the rear, it's a bit saggy and bouncy back there.

I've considered tho OME springs and front spacer. But those don't come with shocks. Dunno if I can swing shocks too at this point in time.

Haven't personally seen bad things about Rough Country. Few of my friends have them and they've been good. However Toytec also has 3 inch lifts around the same price. They also have an option without spacers. They are a little bit more pricey, but definitely good to look into. Also - a somewhat controversial topic is whether you should have a diff drop kit for it or not. It's about 40 bucks and easy to install, some people swear by them, some run lifts without it. Either way it reduces your CV angles, take it for what it's worth for you.

I figure I'll get a diff drop also. Was thinking of new LBJ also. Esp after I saw a taco sittin on its LCA today. Which is part of why I need to do a "budget" lift.

Not trying to jack your thread but I have the same question for my 2wd dd. I want as much cheap lift as possible. If anyone can give advice I'd like to hear it
