Re-arching springs

Well, I went to Discount tire to price some 35's and the guy is telling me I should just re-arch the springs to get the 6 inch lift. Is he full of ?

Is a Superlift better than a Tough Country? I found this 6" for $590

I think most guys here will tell ya to go with Tuff Country. Several here are running them and have had no problems. Rearching springs will get sagging springs back to what they were. Don't know for sure if they stay for long.

If the tough country kit comes with everything (leaves, u-bolts, new front shackles, and shocks) then $590 is a bargain. I re-arched my springs and got 4" it took 13 hours of hard work and I still spent around $400.

TC all the way. i have a set of 6" springs for the front, brand new, but im not going to use them. personally im using 52" rear springs up front on mine, but its going to require lots of extra mods to make it work properly.
