Heaps of choice in that bracket mate - you'll get varied opinions as each has their own, but pretty much anything from OME, Ironman, EFS, Dobinson, etc are all good units in themselves and it really comes down to budget. There was a recent thread about this and I think they went with ironman due to price ... best thing about a 2" lift is you won't need to go changing arms, casters, etc.

No doubt others will offer there thoughts also mate - good luck and make sure you throw up some before and shots!! We love our piccies!!! lol

Don't forget to check out the Tough Dog, Foam Cell one not the adjustable, they are not bad at all. Perhaps also check with the kit available from superior or suspension stuff, some good stuff there.

I recon my truck would get used more than most , and can't think of anything more i could wish for in suspension , 3yr /100K waranty, and a bargain at just over $500, and takes a few hours to fit it yourself.
