I'm looking at getting a lift, but my springs have a pretty good sag in them. My question is should I get a 4" lift kit from trail-master that I think comes with rear blocks, or should I get the 3" lift from rough-country. I'm on a limited budget so I'm only looking to spend between $300 and $400 dollars on a kit, but I want the best kit I can get with the most lift for my money.
Thanks

Be cautious when using blocks on the back springs when they are already sagging! I did this on my 75 and it created a very dangerous driving situation. Problem is with these lifts are that they give you new 5 pack front springs that are pretty stiff and with blocks in the back which is very soft. It creates a tetter totter effect and is very unsafe in my opinion. The system I am refering to is the rough country system. I have heard the Skyjacker's Softride springs are really good. I would go with 4 sets of new springs so you can enjoy the ride. Also I might add that front add a leaves are known for destroying the main leaf. You could go with the rough country system with the add a leaf in the rear and this might make the ride a little more stable as well.
