They sent the wrong lift....AGAIN!

i am in the process of ordering the same lift for my truck.. just finding who to order from. I think my local four-wheel-parts store has the best price.... if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay? they quoted me 1240 for the 8" superlift all spring, plus the ext. brake lines. how does that sound? Are you happy with the lift now? rides good? i too like a stiff ride

thanks

don't need to extend your brake lines with an 8" lift..... but you will need to extend the front driveshaft a couple of inches.

That's the exact price I paid. 1240 shipped to my front door from 4wheelparts. I made them price match national tire and wheel to get that price. Abendx is right. They come with brake line relocation brackets but if it were me I would just get the longer lines in front so the junction stayed tucked up out of the way. Especially if they have them there handy and they're cheap

Abendx,

Did you have to grind on your front driveline at all. I know mine is too short but it looks like the angle won't work without some clearancing of the cv joint. With the driveline hanging from the t-case it is pointed above the pinion. I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Oh well I think maybe these springs will settle some but it seems kinda tall. My buddy has a fabtech 8" with 38 radials and my truck is noticably taller than his when parked side by side

Oh yeah ride quality..... Like a tank. Like there were steel poles welded from the axle to the frame

I'm sure if I get some custom valved bilstien 5100's it will soften right up

haha

That one was just for you abendx

Just kidding though. It rides a little firmer than it did before but I bought the truck with a leveling kit in the front so I don't know how it rode stock.

Hope that helps.

they just lengthened the shaft an inch and a half.... no worry on angles at 8 inches

Awesome! I think you'll love it. I was suprised at how tall it was and my last truck had an 8 1/2 inch on it.

Your springs should settle down a little after driving it.
When I first lifted mine the front seemed so high for A 6" lift. Mine did settle down approx 1" Thats the reason I am thinking of changing to the 8" springs. I can use the same trackbar and I bought new brake lines befor I installed the kit encase I nedded them.
