i got the one off ebay for like $65 you WILL need new shocks no matter what anyone tells you it's a 2.5in kit that is just spring spacers, i didn't realize i needed new shocks so i welded bolts on the top of mine to get me to school and back lol (did this when i was in highschool

you'll also need camber bushings

my truck actually starts right up as soon as you set the choke in the winter unless it's below 0*F then you have to crank it for a minute and let it warm up before you even think about moving lol

you live in wilmington? i went to sallies lol
