Could people who have lifted their trucks please mention which brand of lift they used and what they think of their product.

Thanks

I am impressed with the front Tuff Country springs I run and the rear shackle I am using from Offroad design. They are a good company and have good prices.

I'm running the SkyJacker Softride springs and Rancho RS9000 shocks. Couldn't be happier!

Tuff Country/Rancho

i'll probably be going with BDS springs up front, as they are the softest on the market, and there's a BDS dealer right down the road. although TC does offer a nice warranty from what i hear.

Superlift springs, ranco 9000's, and velvet ride shackles.

Tuff is the only way to go for leaf sprung chevys

I always use Skyjacker Softride with springs all around. No problems. I do however recommend the hydro shocks over the nitros...

Thanks for the advice.

I am leaning towards a 6" Skyjacker softride lift (w/rear springs, no blocks) and 35's.

Hopefully to be completed this summer. I have been contemplating this for awhile. I hope it turns out all right.

I just ordered a 4" Superlift Kit w/ Heavy Duty Front Leaf Springs, Four Shocks, 4" Rear Blocks, Steering Arm, and Steering Stabilizer, plus U-Bolts and Brake Line Relocating Brackets for $487 including UPS Ground Shipping. I went with the Superlift because of the HD Springs, since I'm putting a 454 in my truck, and many of the other lift kits are too softly sprung in front for a big block.
