What lift do you have already. also it is the same work for either new springs or spaces. find cheap springs and put them in

Yes but you would lose down travel with the shorter shocks so it wouldn't be any better offroad.

Plus 3" springs needs offset camber bush thingo's :) also really need to lengthen your sway bar as well at 3"

I would still use the same shocks untill you have the cash to replace them. As long as your realise offroad you will still have the same travel as your current 2" lift.

I bought my springs on ebay 3month old dobinsons for $100. You can get some OK bargins, but just dont buy old sagged crap. Or buy some new as the other chap said for $300.
