I did skyjacker 2" fronts. It wasn't too cheap, I think each side was about $150 or $175, but the ride is alot smoother. If you want to do it really cheap you could probably put longer shackles on, but that could affect the steering geometry and stuff.

Oh yeah, and please don't use lift blocks on the front end like the previous owner of my truck did!!!

The springs say "D200CS." I went through 4 wheel parts (as much as I hate that place) because it was the cheapest.

I had new spring packs built by Benz springs in Portland Oregon. They built them 2" over stock hieght and they ride nice. Cost was around 350 at the time for both sides.
