Which 4" lift?

I have been trying to research which lift is best. I think I am going with the Superlift. There are three different options with the rear end, either a a spring lift or block lift or there is the add a leaf kit? I tow a 28 foot boat quit a bit, so don't want to loose any towing capacity. Oh and my Ford is a early f-250 Superduty. Any help would be appreciated. Or any opinions on which lift kit is best. I also don't want to spend a ton of money.

I have a 4" BDS 4-link with full leaf springs on my 2010 F350. It was pricey, but is a sweet lift. The superlift was cheaper but I wasn't convinced of its quality. I'm really happy with the made in the US BDS.

i've been looking around on lifts to, and i'm big fan of superlift from experience. ive got a '96 250 crewcab and its got a 6" kit from superlift on it, recently we noticed that in one of the front leaf springs a few leafs had cracked, called superlift and they honored there warranty without question. my dad brought up the problem of one new spring, and one old spring, and they said we'll send you two new springs for the front. we also have there steering system on it, and anytime we need bushings or parts, they also send them right out !

Ya guys im on the same boat as you. I have checked out, BDS, Rough Country, Icon, Pure Performance, Zone. So far all of them are made in the USA. Still thinking about what to pick. Also I have talked to Zone and Rough Country many times about this they have great customer service. Im still waiting for an e-mail back from Icon and BDS.

Try these guys as well. A friend of mine used their system and his Ram3500 rides like a caddy.
