The prices are roughly $900 for the 4", and roughly $600 for the 2.5"
4" will look awesome. I had a 3" on my 92 and wished I went larger, 35's would rub when off roading. I plan on a 4" or 6" eventually on the 93.

Hey, when you lift your truck are you going to get bigger tires? If so if they are still in decent shape I'll buy those 32's

I don't plan to go any bigger with tires I don't think, at least not for now. 32's don't look bad at all even with a 4" lift. I will keep you in mind though Justin. The tires are still in pretty good shape.

I like my coils in the front. I'm not doing anything heavy duty enough to need a SAS. I will save that for the EB I build someday.

One week down! Well, almost

Josiah,
Good job!
No one likes working on a dirty engine.
You definitely need a fresh air hose for that snorkel.

Sooo looking forward to the build commencing.
