I've never seen anyone go 5.5" from a budget lift.. I wouldn't go over 4" honestly without alot of other suspension being upgraded..

The budget Lift is putting the front coils in the back and putting a set of lift coils in the front and adding new shocks

I know.. I've done it ZJ.. but you ain't getting 5.5" with the front coils on the back unless some models came with a heavier front coil that will yield the more than 3" or so that normally gives you when you move it to the back.

IMO unless there's a way I haven't seen 5.5" needs some 2-3" spacers somewhere + what you refer to as a budget lift. My main concern is 5.5" is gonna throw the track bars and the rest of the suspension waaaaay out of wack. Point is no way I'd go 5.5" on a "budget lift". That's way to close to time for long arms/trackbars/other parts.

I beleive the V8's have stiffer springs and provide alot of lift, but yea obviously they would need trachbars, sway bars and prolly a tcase drop, brake lines etc so prolly not all that budget
 
well i just put on a super 40 flowmaster(2 1/2in outlet) and added the K&N air filter....tomorrow i am putting new 9mm wires and plugs in. uh lets see. the next thing to do is get a high flow cat then i think i am going to work on the interior for a while until i get the money for a lift and bigger tires/wheels.

the super 40 sounds badass btw

Don't bother with the cat. They don't do much, unless there is a problem with the existing cat. I would put the money towards a set of mustang headers. You can get them at a junkyard, probably for less than the cat would cost. They are direct bolt in and would give you much more bang for your buck.;)

I spend 300$ or so on my k&n and i put a off brand (chrome intakes TM) from ebay for 40$ on my wifes truck (same engine as mine) and really there is no difference, nobody can tell without lookin at the thing it sounds the same and seems to give the same little bit of throtle response as my k$n for 250$ or so less !!!
