The suspension on my 04 4x4 is completely stock and i was thinking about buying a leveling kit and a set of shocks. I was wondering what would be the best brands to go with, and what brands have the best prices? I heard that Pro Comp has a nice leveling kit and Rancho shocks are a good way to go, but I would like some reassuring feedback, or any other opinions on this topic.

Well, we've got the year and drivetrain, but you'll still need to specify 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton.

You can get new torsion bar keys for under $100 on eBay. See my sig line for Bilstein shock part #'s. Try Shockwarehouse.com or eshocks.com for them. You'll need 14mm bushings and sleeves (6 each) to replace the 5/8" ones that normally come on the Bilsteins. Summit Racing has them cheap.
