I bought mine used but I think you should get a pair of longer coils for the front and a add a leaf kit for the rear.
The price should be around 170~180$.
You'll need also to replace the camber bushings and get an alignment. I paid 140$ for it (including bushings).
I run 31.10.5 on stock rims with plenty of clearance. You
could probably run 32's if you have rims w/ less backspacing.
So far I really like it. No roll on highway and it even cured the 60mph vibe/shake.

I bought mine from www.rockymountainsusp.com. It comes with add-a-leafs for the rear which just re-arc your rear leaf pack. the only special tools you need for that is 2 "C" clamps to help push the pack back together. The front is a little trickier. You have to unbolt the swaybars, and shocks, and the radius arms. You lift the truck up by the frame after you take the tire off, and with the truck up on a jack stand, you slowly let down the axle with the jack. Don't forget to unbolt the 1 and 1/8th inch bolt from the coil spring before you let the axle down. The old spring should fall right out, but the new spring should be a little tight getting in. Watch out for your brake line, it stretches it out, and makes it pretty taught. Make sure you put the sping in correctly. If you don't have the spring rotated on the top mount the way the OEM spring was, It makes this horrible sound when you hit a bump and the spring flexes. I know from experiecne. Cause then you have to do the whole process over again to right it. After all was said and done, I paid about $300.00 for everything. (components, alignment, etc.) It was fairly simple to put in. It took me about four hours. If you unbolt everything first, ( I did not) It should go a little quicker.

So all you get in the kit is spings for the front, and add-a-leafs for the rear.

Looks like you could easilly fit 31-10.5's in there.

Good luck

Yeah what he said. I have it and put Autozone shackles on the back. Right now I have 31x10.5 on it and it looks like a might be able to go with 32's. I would have to say that this kit is preaty much just for looks because of the fact that you lose some rear ground clearance with the add a leaf. If thats not a problem then go for it. The 2 inches and 31's realy change the entire look of the X. When I'm part next to a stocker it realy makes them look puny(no offence ment to anyone that does not have a lift)

what do you think would be easier and cheaper, coil spacers/shackles, or the skyjacker??? which one do you think would be better??

 

[CADDYBILL]

Coil spacers/shackles would be cheaper of course, but what you have to take into consideration is the condition of your existing front coils and rear leafs. Mine were the originals so I decided it was worth the expense to replace them.

 

[beaston1]

hey caddybill, do you think it would be better to just use shackles and not add-a-leafs for the rear?? would it give me the same amount of lift?? plus in the front i want longer springs so i think spacers are kinda moving out of my mind.......

Caddy, we got to meet one day after work, i got to talk to you about your lift....

 

[CADDYBILL]

beaston1 ---I'm not sure if it would be the same amount of lift. It would be cheeper though.
