SuperLift should definitely be considered as an option for folk looking to lift their truck on a budget. However, if you have the money, I suggest moving to a different brand. Especially if you want a little extra off road performance. The reviews I've seen for these lifts aren't bad, but they aren't anything special either. Most notably the ride quality is described as being worse than all the other kits available. Recommended if you want to lift your Super Duty on the cheap.
