Performance accessories 5 inch premium lift
 
So does anyone know about performance accessories lift kits is it worth it or should I just go with a rancho, skyjacker, or some other brand?

That kit is basically a 3 inch body lift and a two inch leveling kit. PA makes the best, most complete body lifts on the market and are the industry standard. As for leveling kits, they are all basically the same.

Ok cool thank you for the feedback just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna get a bad brand in parts

Would I need to extend anything on the truck?

Yes, but all of those issues are addressed with the PA body lift. That's why they are the best body lifts.
You didn't mention what year model your truck is. The reason I say this is because the 04-09's are a lot more difficult to install a body lift on than the 97-03's or 10-14's.

It's still as much of a PITA for 09-14 as it is for 04-08, to my knowledge. Other than a few body panels and powertrain, the entire truck is almost the same.

But yes, that 5" PA system is just a leveling kit with a body lift. If you have an 04-14, I'd just go ahead and get an actual suspension lift unless you plan on installing it yourself, because the labor cost on a body lift for these trucks is exorbitant.

Yeah I have an 05 king ranch and do plan on installing it myself

Well then go for it! Without knowing what leveling kit is included in the PA kit, I'd just get their 3" body and then a 2" Autospring level.

Buddy of mine put a 3" body on his 04-08 and said it was so bad that he would pay someone if he had to go back haha. I wish I had done one, or attempted, so I can accurately describe how much it sucks.

It'd be a lot cheaper to go this route and get the body lift and then an autospring kit seperately, otherwise you'll be paying the premium for PA to bundle it together.
