Welcome to R-F Brice! Try using the search function for "spindle lift." And do a little bit of reading about those. The search function is in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Your suspension shouldn't have changed any from previous years, so most anything from 01+ 2wd XLTs should work for you.

the lifts they make is a superlift, RCD suspension, dixion brothers the least you will spend will be close to 2000 bucks including the driveshaft you need so i would just do a 3inch body lift if you dont have the $

get yourself an RCD kit....it eliminates the torsion bars......it is a little pricey, but it is like everything else, you get what you pay for....

I had the RCD lift, and while it is a great kit, I wish I had just slapped a Bodylift on and called it a day. Looking back I could have done alot with the 1800 or so I would have saved.

You will have a problem with your crossover exhaust pipe rubbing your front driveshaft after you lift it 3" ask me how I know.

lol, if you dont want to spend alot, try looking for a used kit. Just as long as the previous owner hasnt neglected it. A good coat of fresh paint it will be looking like brand new. I got my superlift used for only a few thousand miles for 1/2 the price of a new one.

The superlift kit can be had for about $1275 + tax. That's what I paid for mine.
