Superlift 4" Question--need inputs

Gents - I recently purchased a 2004 F250 V10 CCLWB w/94K on the odometer.

Truck will be used for family ATV'ng, camping, hunting, fun trips--I've got a smaller daily driver.

I was considering the Superlift 4" & Bilstein shocks with dual steering stabilizers and carrier bearing drop kit to run 35s.

I know very little about lifts...any inputs welcomed.

Is the Superlift 4" kit solid--would you guys recommend a different kit for similar price?

Thank you.

Do not buy the superlift kit the finish on everything is awful powdercoat was peeling off everything that was powdercoated right out of the box and there customer service sucks almost as much as their powdercoating. Not to mention the rubbery crap they sprayed the springs with while they were wet no less. You will need a carrier bearing drop kit but you will need way more than they say you need with that kit they claim 1/2" is plenty it's not I've got mine dropped 1.25". It will also not sit level with what they give you in the kit you will need either a 5"or 5.5" flat block in the rear. That seems to be universal though not just stupidlift. My Procomp kit on my last truck rode a little better than this one and it was on a super cab short bed. I would also avoid rough country most of there components and springs look eerily similar. Look at Procomp zone off road and bds. Bds and zone are owned by the same company Procomp and zone should be in the same price bracket as stupidlift with bds being more and then there are some more higher end options which are pricey. Which ever kit you get I would seriously recommend hitting everything with a few coats of clear to keep it nice especially if you live somewhere that likes to put salt down half the year.

I went with Zone Offroad but I went 6" instead of 4" and glad I did. The quality seems fine and the ride is better than stock. A few pics to compare Zone vs stock

thanks for the inputs...I'll give the Zone a look today.

Would I need anything else other than the standard 4" kit they sell?
