Skyjacker vs Superlift

Okay I just purchased a skyjacker lift for my F350 and from the reviews ive read skyjacker is the way to go. But I have a question for a non-ford vehicle, specifically my cousins GMC 2dr Yukon. He also was going to purchase a skyjacker lift, but was told that the superlift was a good lift he should consider getting. He will not be doing a lot of off roading, mainly street use and occasional off roading. Would you still recommend the skyjacker lift and why or why not?

THanks

Skyjacker vs Superlift

I have had a superlift kit on one of my trucks, and I just bought a skyjacker. The skyjacker I kit got is SOOO MUCH BETTER! The superlift looks like junk to me now. Better springs, gave me bushings, good good stuff.

Skyjacker vs Superlift

Okay, when we went to order the lift today we were looking at what the lift included on the skyjacker site, and then what it included the web site we were going to order from. I noticed that the shocks are included on the skyjacker site but not on the ordering site. I'll post the links to both the skyjacker site for his yukon and the national tire and wheel site for the price and description of his lift that they offer. He will be getting the system not the kit, or would you recommend getting the kit with the blocks and add a leafs or stay with the system with the new rear springs? Also is 1700 a fair price for the system lift?
Skyjacker.com listing -

NTW listing - http://www.ntwonline.com/ntw0799/pag...kyjacker-23240

Also, we will be ordering 8 wheels and 8 tires plus his suspension lift from the same company, think they will bargain out a deal?

Thanks again.

The system will ride a lot better. Call around to a few places, when you make companies compete you win. I called ntwonline.com, summitracing.com, 4wheelparts.com, and desertrat.com for my parts. I just ordered an ARB air locker, superlift superrunner steering system, 4 american eagle wheels, and my skyjacker lift kit.

I bought from 3 of the 4 companies. I got the ARB from summit (had the lift on backorder, i wish they didn't I love that company), got the wheels and steering system from 4wheelparts and I got the lift kit from ntwonline.com.

By a low price guarentee, do you mean they will compete with any price I can find online? If so, thats excellent news. Thanks again.

They will compete with anyone. They have a page on it on their website. The only catch is that the competitor's product must be in stock. However, I told them summit had it in stock when they didn't and they still dropped 63 bucks off the price. I went from $748 to $685.

Wow that is excellent news, thanks a ton, I didnt take the time to search their whole web site but thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Though its odd that 4wheelparts doesnt carry any M/T.
I like the Pro Comp xtreem alloys, any idea on the quality of them?
Final question about 4wheelparts.com . They offer the Skyjacker kit with the blocks and add a leafs on the site, could they get the system for me with the new leaf springs?

They should have the skyjacker parts you want. More than likely, they don't put everything they have on the website. Give them a call to find out for sure.
