You can look here...

A pure 5" lift isn't a very popular option, most companies jump from 4 to 6, so a spacer may be the best option.

Prob spend just close to what you would for a 6" lift if not the same. Also will have a lot more options with a 6" or 4". Is there a specific reason you don't want to just go a little higher/lower?

If you order a 4" lift, it will prob net over 5", depending on your set up with bumpers/winch/etc. best bet is to use a coil spacer to get that back.
