I have a 3" lift. But I didn't do the install, a friend that owns a garage did. It was a cheapo $159 lift kit. It works perfectly and there is no noticable change in the ride. However, they didn't seem to mention that you need longer rear shocks! So if you get a kit make sure it has new rear shocks. The front has a spacer that goes on top of the Strut so there is no change in strut travel. The rear is a spacer that goes over the coil. The thing is if you just put the spacer in it's ok but if you plan on any off road activities you lose about 2" of wheel drop. My friend with the garage charged me $150 total for the install which included wheel alignment. (His is state of the art) I spent another $70 plus shipping on some new nitro 9000 shocks which have an additional 3" of travel.
