what specific application are you trying to get from them?
they seem like a gimmic to me.. ( just my opinion)
if you are trying to get more "lift" .. or prevent sagging during towing get some overload springs..

im just looking to lift the truck,higher in the air.

im not really gonna be wheelign this thing hard.
its 'mostly' for looks,but ill take it down to the river and park it on the beach in the water or whatever,in the dirt fields crusin etc.

I would pass on those.You could use zero rate which would give you 1inch on the front and rear.

I`m seeing alot of folks looking for a cheaper way to lift trucks.Do it right or leave it alone.Look at what`s been the way and follow that path.Springs lift trucks and have for many decades.It just works.

those are NOT for lifting the front of your 4x4, they are for use on the rear of cars with leaf springs in the rear only. if you use them on the front of your 4x4, 3 things WILL happen, #1-steering geometry will be shot. #2- driveline angle will be all screwed up. #3-the first turn you try taking at speed will land you on your lid,see #1.

Indeed. Do it RIGHT not CHEAP! Whether it's illegal or not (many things should be) theres a lotta stuff bad for lifting. Always use major brand stuff (Superlift, Skyjacker, Rancho, all them big names like that) and not Bubba's Cheap Lift and Moonshine shop style. Never run blocks in front (isn't that illegal anyways?) never weld up or try to custom modify pitman arms, double blocks on each other, along with a lot of stuff like that. It's better to be alive and broke than dead and taking passengers with you.

Oh, and I wouldn't bother with that stuff on the linky. Lifts for those trucks are relatively cheap and easy. run like a 2.5-4" lift, 33's, call er good.
