That makes no sense. Steering can be rebuilt for <$100. Done it before. Shocks will NOT lift a truck.

if he dosent need it for rock crawling, why even do the lift.. 31" tires and a rear locker and he can get into alot of "light wheeling".
Because he wants to and needed good advice on how to do so.

ive done things the cheep way before, just trying to show that for a bit extra time and money he could end up with a truck that not only performs better on the trail, and on the road, but will have a way higher resale value. also when he decides that he wants to do some harder trails, he will already be setup for it!
First, the skyjacker kit isn't "cheap". It's well priced for what it is, and it's a very nice kit. Second, recommending that a person spend 3x the amount of money makes ZERO sense when it isn't necessary and it doesn't address the core need.

Plus, he wants 2-3" of lift, not 4-7"...
