Rough country sells suspension kits for around 500.00 and they are a sponsor of FTE.
There are many, many companies that still offer systems for these trucks
Skyjacker
Pro comp
Rancho
Superlift
just to name a few.
Some companies offer extended radius arms with their kits and add a leaf rear springs - These options are the best to me, but increase cost to the kit.

Like he said . I like the extended rad arms myself . And used to run Ranco. I would avoid the block rear lift kits . I had problems and was not a offroader. Good luck.
How high you want and tire size. You can make 33" fit nice with the 2" lift coils and add a leafs. Dont for et the Chamber kit with em.

im not looking to sky my truck, just a little height is all, enough to up the tire size a little (32's-33's), i priced a rough country 1.5" leveling kit, which was pretty reasonable, so ill check out the others Khadma listed, thanks guys.

i would go skyjacker, superlift or rancho , as those are the ones with the extended radius arms, really makes a huge difference as this is how my truck is set up, also , buy rearched rear springs if its an option, its one of the best things i ever did to mine. my truck had 33s with the rancho kit and fit well. the add a leafs had cracked so i opted for rough country easy rider rearched springs, i went with f250 4 inch . absolutley love how it handles and i can put a car tralier with a full size car and she dont squat !

You can basically run 32-33s without a lift.
The 1.5 leveling kit will work for you, as long as you do not do some hardcore wheeling. This would cause tire rub up front.
Check out the other companies and keep us posted.
Have fun working on your truck.
