I went with the Summit 2 1/2 kit (spring pack style) because it had the long leafs and I wanted to add some arch back to my sagging front springs, which it did. I am pleased with its quality.

I have a performance sales 2.7" mini sping pack and so far it's worked fine. A lot of people suggest an adjustable track bar so the axle stays centered under the truck but I didn't need one. If you get a mini pack, stay away from ones that have their packs welded. Use red lock tite on the bolts too!

I myself was considering going the shackle lift route, but with 215k on my truck, my front ens springs could use some helper springs.

I bought a new ProComp 2" kit from a guy that never got around to installing it for $100. I like this option better than the Ebay shackle only kits as it comes with front hangers also. Look around, there are deals to be found.

#4 is a mini spring pack, #7 is an add-a-leaf. #4 will maintain stock ride quality, #7 will probably make it stiffer. Bang for the buck? I'd say it's a draw.

I bought this kit a while back, and it isn't 2.7". The spring pack is EXACTLY 2" (4 1/2 inch plates) so I fail how to see where the says it will provide 2.7" of lift. However, it did provide exactly 2" to my truck and i have 35" with no rubbing (ok, some rubbing if at full lock and driving over a bump). Ride quality remained the same, and shocks were reused. I do want to put new shocks all around though. EASY install as well. Given the cheapness (cost) i figured i'd try it out, and if I decided later to go bigger, it wouldn't set me back too much.
