3" Skyjacker Kit?

Has Anyone ever had any experience with the 3" Skyjacker Kit?
I'm thinking about installing it along with my 3" Body Lift

Its a 2005 2WD F-150

I would go with the 4" rancho lift or the 4" RCD lift. I think that they are both much better lifts! prob about the same price too.

I ran 70,000 miles on their 3" - loved it. Moved up to the 6" and also very happy.

I've heard mixed reviews on the Skyjacker 3 inch lift.

Skyjackers 3" kit is just a longer shock. They went away from the scoil design so pricewise it's pretty cheap compared to an actual lift but for 1/2" difference and a big price difference why not just put a 2.5" leveling kit on it?

That's what I've always thought. The extra money is not worth another 1/2 inch of lift.

ive had the 2.5 inch AS kit on my truck and didnt like the angles my upper arms were at. not to mention that they hit the coils on any little bump. i think im just gonna go ahead and drop some more cash and get the 6 inch fabtech kit.

I have the 2.5" Autospring spacer. It has worked great for the last 20,000 miles, and I assume it is not going to stop working anytime soon. I would save the money and go with the Autospring kit, and get some bigger tires!
