I'll give you the advice that I've given many times. Don't expect to get the same results from a "spacer" style lift as you would get from a real lifted suspension system. I wouldn't say that it's a "get what ya pay for" thing, because I don't think that the results are 10 times better despite being 10 times more expensive. But I would say that a real suspension system will give you a better ride, be less likely to prematurely wear out parts (because factory geometry is maintained) and be more rugged and able to handle more off road abuse.

Well I know that but seeing that there are no lift kits for a 2007+ Expi these are my only options. Ive had leveled trucks before and they ride just fine.

Plus she will never see the offroad! :)

i would go with the truxxx lift... i agree with tony, ive been looking at taking out the level kit and adding a 4 or 5 suspension lift but cant justify $1600 price tag.

hmmm...that 3rd lift seems to be a generic. Its an almost exact copycat of the truxxx design. I would try it considering the intended use...for the street. I would also try to contact the seller and see if he can tell you who makes that kit. He has a return policy so if they look cheap and unsafe, then return them. He has good feedbacks too.

Again, your not building an offroad monster truck here...just my opinion

Holy crap!!! What happened you your lawn?
I love the look of your expy, is that the 3/2 truxx lift? I am considering the same on my 4x4, as well as removing the steps, but the prego wife insists that I don't.

wow we have a lot in common there. I too have a prego wife that is not wild about the removed steps. I did promise her that they would get replaced. She is driving our other car til then

Yes its a truxxx lift. Oh and I have the typical Vegas lawn = nice brown rocks! I do have a small putting green in the back too!:D

I was digging around and found the truxxx kit (106030) for $282 free shipping at more than 1 place. Funny that all the searches now reflect the kit to be a 2.75/2 lift and not 3/2 as when I bought mine...

here is another type I found on ebay using billet spacers for 2.5 front lift only. Good price too.
