which liftkit brand
 
one of my front leafpacks is starting to sag pretty bad. makes my truck sit crooked about 1.5" now. this is good cause now im forced into buying new springs for it. i wanna go with 6" springs all around. this is just a pavement pounder so ride quality is the main objective. ive heard that skyjacker offers a soft ride. does anyone know where the best place to buy skyjacker is. also what parts should i need after lifting another 2". I'm planning on replacing my driveshafts since the rear is warped a little.

i have the 8 inch skyjacker, and it isn't to bad, but as with all lift springs it rides a little choppy, im sure the 6 inch will be better though. i bought mine from a smaller company in michigan i want to say, called kersteners 4x4. the only advice i can give is to call several dealers and see what they include in their advertised price, some may have shocks and brake lines while others don't. with a four inch lift you can usually make factory drivelines work, but with 6 theyll need replaced, so if you replaced them with the 4" then you will most likely be OK, same with shocks. certainly want to make sure your brake lines have plenty of room to work. or they will need replaced too
