    fabtech, cst, rough country, superlift are all good lifts. i would say $1500-$2000 depending on the brand, maybe less.

    Rough Country is what everyone in my area swears by, they're so durable, and meant to last. Not to mention they're the most inexpensive on the market.

    The only thing I have ever had was 6" Pro Comp lift, I only had the truck for 4 years and it had 10,000 miles so it wasn't driven that much. Never went off-road with it, but I do know it rode smoother than stock on the pavement. My friend has a CST 5" spindle lift for his Colorado, and it is very impressive for the money he paid $1,200. Other than that I have no other perview, good luck on your search!

    I would go with Fabtech, Rough Country, Superlift or Procomp. Those are the only ones that I have my trust in. And like AJ said it'l porbably run you about 1500 to 2000 depending on the brand, accessories, and truck.

    As for where to buy, check out http://www.4wheelparts.com they have pretty good prices and they have locations in almost every state if you want to pick it up instead of having it shipped.

    I've heard good and bad things about 4wheelparts. They don't have a store close th Ct too bad. I think it's going to be the rough country because of the price. Does anyone know if I will be able to use my factory 20in wheels untill I get new ones? 4 wheel parts doesn't sell the rough country maybe I'll just get tires and wheels from them. They are the only place I found to sell kmc xd wheels.

    For wheels and tires try www.rimzoneonline.com that is where I got mine from and could not find anyone to beat their prices. I went into the 4 wheel parts location here and the manager even told me he has lost a lot of business to rimz one (they have an actual location here as well). I know they sell lifts as well...they installed mine. Just another option for ya.
