lift kit..

so as i posted few weeks back i had broken bolts on the manifold i FINALLY got them taken care of =).. now other issue im dealing with is the lift kit on the truck i bought isnt a real lift kit.. just the blocks an torsion bars which i honestly HATE since i feel every little bump . i know a REAL suspension lift HAS to feel alot better an i wanna do one soon what company an all? . so which kit is the best bang for the buck ? i dont want to spend alot of money to be honest here.. so it anyone even has a kit laying around that they took out i can have let me know..

also looking to do some new rims/wheels if anyone local to 11357 NYC has a set of 17s i can get an all im interested as well.. thank you

To do it right your looking at $4to5k that's lift,rims,tires,probably ball joints, etc... Fabtechs 6" you can find for around $1600. Lifting trucks is great but it can get very exspensive.

Here's my 98' I lifted a couple years ago and have since sold. (Big mistake)
I put on a 6" Fabtech 35" SSR's and 16" eagle 589 rims. By the
Time it was all said and done i had nearly 5k in the whole set up. But i also
Had to replace all 4 ball joints and all 4 tie rods. I have a 03' Screw FX4 now
And there's no way my wife would be okay with me spending that again....
