after working my a** off all summer i dont know if i have it in to me to drop 2000 to get a lift so does anybody know about this kit? it comes with new struts and an add-a-leaf. do you think it is reliable? will it give me the 3" it says, does anyone on here have one. thanks

 

Don't know much about the Sky Jacker kit, but people have had good results from the Bilstien and Rancho kits. Do some price comparisons. You will just have to add in the AAL.

 

NO dont do it. It isnt a proper differential drop kit, it will stress the crap out of your front suspension, your CV angles will be horrible. Dont waste your hard earned cash on that, it will lead to problems.

Look at thesuperlift, rancho or RCD kit for 4" lifts.

 

i looked into the 4" kits but they are priced high as well so for that i might as well just get the 6" kit

 

you can get the pro comp for around $1000

 

yeah i ve seen $1,100 on ebay

dont get the sky jacker, mSall already explained it

2.5 as yeilds the same results for a fraction of the price.


i have the 2.5 as and my truck is currently in the shop getting a 3in body lift put on

u can do body lift and tires for under $2,000

 

the 2.5 is a lot cheaper, i got mine for like $90

 

i had to edit my response , i noticed he already had the 2.5

horrible upper ball joint, tie rod and CV angles. dont do it...get a proper lift kit

 

I agree. 3 inches is just too much lift without drop down brackets.

 

Then why are so many people running the 2.5 AS kit when it actully lifts your truck 3 inches?

 

Whos to say it does? From what I have seen results vary from truck to truck.

i got quoted 900 for the body lift.. and was thinking about it and for 9000 bucks i might as well buy the suspension lift....
thanks guys you just saved me some money and alot of headaches

 

if ur not going to install the body lift, then im assuming ur not going to install a susepension lift. which is prolly in the negihborhood of $900 for susepension lift install around here atleast.

way i see it, off roading for me is doing doughnuts in a muddy field, im 18, and i cant swing $ 4-5 grand on lift tires new wheels gears, i would love to, but money will not allow.

if u really think about it, a 6in lift is only a true 4in , 2in to level the truck then 4in of actual lift. i have a spacer and body lift, so it will only sit a about an inch or so lower.

+ can always add a 6in lift ontop of the body lift, wen money allows
