When I had my first gen, I was considering the Calmini 3", but I'll let the others chime in on this one.

4x4parts is a good place to start. I figure I have about a 3" lift with the leaf springs (that I got from Mike), AC torsion bars, PML & upper control arms. Still running stock shocks though.

Get the whole kit!its cheaper this way and i wuold highly recommend cambolts,lowprofile bump stops,HD TRA,new doorman bolts,and calamining IAB i don't know maybe u have some of this stuff already but i say that's. A must to have but what do i know u know me.....

Talk to Dave (bandit 4x4). He makes a great set of leaf springs a bunch of us have his springs and they are great

I have Alcan Leafs in the rear and love them. They'll custom make them for payload and height desired. http://www.alcanspring.com/

I'm also running CalminiFront suspension parts. Had a few issues but nothing too major.

Also if your getting a lift with bigger tires, make sure you upgrade your steering. I have the Total Chaos King Kong steering kit with the heim-joint tie-rod kit and love it, but pricey and worth it.
