Thanks for your comments, specially TrooperJ for pointing my ingnorance of the search button and posting that thread... I have changed my mind about Calmini's and now I'm thinking about Indy 4x...

I think I may buy piece by piece... first the OME coils, then the Racho 9000's... can I just change the coils and keep my current shocks? (I bought them like 2 months ago... before I started looking at off roading) or should I go for the whole package?

I'm having problems with the word backspacing... from what I understand, backspacing is the distance from where the bolts meet the rims and the edge of the wheel... am I right?

I asked a local 4x4 shop about lifts and they told me that whenever I raise my truck I need to compensate with wider tires to keep stability... is this what backspacing is all about? helping maintain stability?

-This is my DD truck so do you think I should stick to All Terrain tires intead of Mud tires.? (I drive about 120 miles highway daily, sometimes more). Oh, and I also read I can go up to 7 inches with suspension lift and body lift... will that afect my 'comuting experience'?

-Like I said my truck is 2WD, what kind of offroading would I be able to do after the suspension lift... I think that mud will be a no no, but how about going over some rocks or ditches?

thanks again for all your input...
