Exclamation How does a suspension lift ride???

Hey everyone, just had a quick question. This monday i am having a pro comp 6 inch lift (stage 1) installed on my truck. The guy at 4wheelparts told me that it would ride a little stiffer?? Is that true? What your thoughts on the ride comfort???

Mine was a tad stiffer, but I think it rides much better than stock overall for my truck. Fabtech 6" with fullsize performance shocks and Camburg UCAs.

I like the ride quality of mine. I'd say it rides a little stiffer. Just depends on the shocks and tires you go with.

Since the Stage 1 Pro COmp uses the OEM coilover shocks and a block out back, I would think it rides almost identical to stock. I'd think any change in ride quality would be because of different tires installed after the lift.

My experience was a rougher ride when I went from 18's to 20's.

you can tell a huge difference with running my stock wheels and tires and when I put on my 37's, its stiffer, but due to the big meats.

Just out of curiosity, how much was your pro comp (stage 1) after installation and all.

well they first give me a quote of $1731.00 out the door, but he was wrong.it turns out to be $2,029.00 out the door. they are giving you a $500.00 credit on labor which still helps alot. now i can get those nfab steps!
