I've looked back through the last 6 pages of this forum and have not seen anyone asking what sites too look at for lift kits.

I would like to get:
-New Kit
-Springs in front, blocks in rear
-3" to 4" lift
-Shocks included

Suggestions on websites to look at and brands to use? I know rough country is a stiff ride so i was shying away from them. I have friends with Pro Comp and superlifts that like theirs on their newer IFS trucks.

IMO the best kit is a Mixed/homemade kit.
I got a set of 6" leafs from a friend with rear block and add-leafs.
Im going to use the 6" fronts but on the back im going with a shackle lift and Zero rates all around.

Pick up a couple different 4x4 mags and you will find several reputable companies to purchase from.

I've bought a lot of stuff from Off Road Design through out the years. They have some parts that not many other places sell.

Companies aren't the issue. Was just hoping to get it all as one kit off a website instead of piecing it together from different.

summit racing

roughcountry

tuff country all of them.

jcwhitney and summit sell both kits from rough country and tuff country, or used to.

if you want a smooth ride look into the e-z ride from tuff country, the rough country is pretty stiff and tough.

I go mine from rough country, only thing it doesn't come with is longer brake hoses, it comes with brake line relocation brackets but don't use them, they are crappy. I am very happy with the lift other than that, got mine off eBay new for 400 bucks.

i have had excellent luck with skyjacker with thier "softride" lifts. they seem to have a softer ride, excellent hieght, they dont seem to sag over time, the parts fit perfectly with no modifications, and the price was excellent for my application
