    Hi all, purchased a 2003 4x and wanting to level it... Rough Country makes one, curious if it's a good one. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Will spend 750 to a grand. Its already a little high in the rear so just considering just the front for starters.

    Mega thread linked above has all your answers. Bilstein 5100s on OME coils seem to be the ticket in that price range.

    rough country is a dirty word around here, but hey, I have quickstruts with puck spacers on my truck and nobody has threatened to ban me yet.

    A $750~$1000 dirtbike in the bed should level it out.

    Is that an attempt at humor? Just wondering.

    Oh yeah. Stay away from that Rough Country shit.
