Skyjacker Leaves

Anyone running Skyjacker Leaves. They supposedly provide 4" of lift with the stock blocks should sit the truck perfectly. I am wanting to get to either no block or just the stock block....I keep putting this off but might pull the trigger.

I have looked at others like Deaver but don't see the point in spending the additional money for a name... Anyone????

Deaver's are different than skyjacker's. Your not paying for the name, your paying for the function of the leaves. Deaver's are meant to pull travel numbers for long travel applications while skyjacker's are just meant to lift and provide a better ride than a huge block generally. In your case you'd be best off getting the skyjacker's.

So you are looking into the 4" skyjackers. I know a member on here has them, I believe mud digger. A silver f150 but I want to here some input on these as well

I probably should have put it a different way. Considering the F150 has an IFS with limited to zero front droop travel I can't justify the additional funds for the Deaver leafs, it would just be a novelty for this application. I am sure I will get flamed for putting down Deaver, LOL...

Do you know anyone running these leafs? I have had skyjacker products in the past and thought they were pretty high quality. Just wondering how they actually sit before I spend $550 considering my add-a-leaf and block are working fine and this is just a want not a need......Photos would be great...

I am batting it around. I want to do bumpers and rear leafs...Bumpers are a higher priority to I can mount the winch but the leafs are still wanted...I have never liked running blocks and generally got leafs with or directly after the lift...
