Hey everyone, i have a 98 ext cab 4.3 that is currently lowered. I'm sick and tired  of weaving my way around bumbs on the freeway, in parking lots, and avoiding speedbumbs altogether. so i am going skyward cause i cant stand a stock ride  . But if i do this i want to go long travel, however, budget is an issue, but i have heard some bad things about the AIM and Fabtech kits. I can afford right now tops 1000, but would like to stay closer to 800. So, i'm looking at the Baja Customs upper arm kit.
Couple questions
What other items will i need to complete the install?
How much lift/travel will i get?
Will i have the option for further add-ons in the future to make it a true long travel install?

From what i've heard and red don't even waste your money on short arm kits.

I think the aim is a pretty decent kit, and you can get the kit for under a grand.

save your money,.............. baja has other kits to offer, and. what more can you say, a short arm kit behhhhh......... long travel. an absolute performance upgrade you can feel!!!

X2, Matt does great work, but save Mo money and get some tickl'n from you know who

Z-man, my upper arm kit is a good choice if you can't afford Long travel but still need some off-road capabilities. 
What other items will i need to complete the install?
Other than the kit you would need to purchase lift springs.
How much lift/travel will i get?
3" of lift depending on the spring, wheel travel is close to stock.
If your just looking for 3" of lift I would first recommend a lift spindle, but if you want 6" of lift you need an upper arm kit.
These arms won't work with my stage one kit, they are too short.

awsome thanks for the info. i think im going to save up for the stage one LT kit.
