anyone look into a SuperLift?

I see that superlift has a 4.5" lift coming out or out.. not sure.

Has anyone looked into it? for the kit with bilstein shocks is $1600... not to bad. I am wondering if its like the rancho lift and lifts more then the 4.5"s....

i have always heard good things about superlift except they have a slightly rougher ride...

any input would be great!

I wouldn't go Superlift, I've heard way too many horror stories. The Rancho will give you 5.5" of lift in the front.

ok- thats what i was wondering thumper.... the 4" rancho is really 5.5" front lift..... Does the rancho come with aftermarket (rancho front shocks and springs?) or do you reuse the factory???

I got some more info on the super lift. Its shipping now and is a true 4.5" lift. It reuses your factory front shocks and coils.... comes with superlift of bilstein rear shocks-



Superlift's Frame Integrated Technology (F.I.T.) unique high clearance one-piece crossmembers, used to relocate the lower control arms, are connected by a massive belly-pan that protects the front differential. The belly-pan mates to the crossmembers via an interlocking "dovetail" fit and secured with countersunk bolts to form an incredibly strong subframe assembly. All load-bearing bracketry is constructed of .25" thick steel plate.
New Coilover Towers - new towers, also constructed of .25" plate steel, relocate the factory coilover shocks. This method maintains stock ride quality and greatly simplifies installation.
New Steering Knuckles - Superlift's new cast ductile iron steering knuckles correct all steering related geometry without increasing vehicle track width or relocating the rack and pinion steering system. All necessary alignment hardware is also included.
Rear Lift - 2" add-a-leafs that are specifically designed to combat spring /axle wrap-up while keeping the truck's good ride characteristics intact.
