ok, so keys are outta the question. so wat should i do to lift my truck? SL is WAY too expensive for my budget. and i cant get why only superlift that ive seen makes SL kits for my year range. all the others do mainly 83-97

All depends how much you beat up on the truck. U don't di hardcore off roading. I will go down a few trails at the lake every now and then.
