97 F150 Lift Kits

So hopfully I will be liftin her up by the end of this year. Ive been looking at the skyjacker suspension system that comes with new leafs and everything pretty much. But I would like to know about other peoples expiriences with other lifts and lifts from skyjacker. Im only 18 with a **** job but I am more of a quality person. I would rather pay the 1800 or so for the skyjacker then be cheap and spend allot less on a crap lift. Just to give you an idea. Any suggestions would be great

Most people agree that the Fabtech, RCD and Rancho are the best lifts for the 97-03 F-150's.

Alright yeah. Now I think I may narrow it down to the fabtech and skyjacker. Cause fabtech is the one other one i read about with nice reviews. Probably going to be a hard decision but lets face it i got more than enough time sadly lol.

Thanks man. Also if you are lookin to save some money and install it yourself, mine was real easy. i have no experience at all in installs and it took me 16 hours with some elbow grease. Good luck on the search

Yeah im puttin it in myself when I get one. I have better things to spend my money on the pay someone to install it for me lol.

One another note, I have trouble finding any reviews on skyjacker. Im just tryin to get a good 6 inch lift. Cand find much on skyjacker, theres pro comp, couple others. too many to choose from. should just buy em all lol

Yes it does man! Those tires are killing me man . Once you get up a little bit, then you will wanna go even higher. Bet we see you with a 6" something and a body lift on some 38s sometime in the future
