$400 won't get you nothing so just send the money to me. Seriously though, how about a BB of shackles and spacers and a set of 30x9.5s? You can keep the stock rims and get all of that for close to $400.

Id go RE 2" BB, spacers & AAL. Then some 235's from WalMart. Would look twice better than sock... you get shocks and all.

personally I wouldn't do an AAL for 2 reasons:1-they don't give that much and wear down quick.2-At least with shackles and spacers you can build on it or sell it out right for more $$. As far as shocks go, I dont really think you need to worry about it with a BB.

If your going to actually wheel it. I would focus on Skids, tow points and Saftey first.

buy some tow hooks, front and rear.
Buy a Tcase skid, Gass skid and or rock Rails, (little more then the 400 you want to spend)
Buy a CB and first aid kit.

my first lift was f150 coils, s10 AAL, and used 265/75's (31's) did all that for about $350

Oh God. What a horrible problem. Leftover money. What will you ever do?

This would be even better:

Front: F150 coils and BPE (RockyRoad)
Rear: AAL from JCW ($40) or shackles (RockyRoad) and BPE RockyRoad
ZJ rear brake like hose

Meats: XtraTrac 235's from WalMart ($33 ea)(Good tires BTW), or some dirt cheap 30's from a tire store.

Good luck,
Andrew

I fought temptation, threw th emoney in my bank account and kept adding. I did it right the first time, and am glad I did. My first plans were to get a 2" BB, but I resisted, saved up, and now I run the RE 3.5" with full leaf packs.
