It might help if you gave us more information about your truck. year, 2wd or 4wd, etc. Search summit.com for your vehicle and look under suspension lift and see what you find.

It's not stupid, everyone starts somewhere. Just search ebay or like th other guy said summit. See what fits your truck and what it consists of and go from there
