lift kit

I have a 1996 2wd club cab long bed, I ride dirtbikes religiously and some of the places I need to get to are real hard on my stock suspension. So I want to put a small 3" or so lift on it. Im not gonna jack it up being that its only a 2wd and I dont need it. Just enough to get through some muck and I wont lie it looks just plain delicious. If you guys could give me a website or have a brand that is good with these. Just really and input would be much much appreciated. Thanks guys. By the way the truck is completely stock aside from performance mods.

I would try ntwonline.com that is the only place I get my lift kits and tire wheel package deals are the best. My friend got a set of 20inch rims and 38 inch tires mounted and the lug nuts center caps for 1200 bucks.

Carli Suspension or KORE. Don't buy a kit solely based on lift as your ride quality may suffer. Just trying to prevent you from spilling coffee.

Do not think there are any decent lifts for 2wds.

No..PERIOD. Lift cos will do what they say..."lift" but with a lift you want to make sure your ride is reasonable also. SJ provides lifts for trucks...and the "ride" can be debated all day but I'm saving for Carli coil springs now! In addition, the track bar drop bracket is junk (cracked in 2 places) and they wouldn't provide any type of warranty on it after reasonable/normal on-road use....they wanted me to buy another one of their brackets....ha ha, don't think so.

Don't use skyjunker or notsosuperlift either. Awful ride quality. Made me think of going on hayrides as a kid. Total garbage. Kore and carli are the way to go. If you're just doing a 2 inch os, use a leveling kit. Retains stock ride. Just installed my leveling kit and Im super happy. Purely cosmetic, but it was totally worth it.
