looking for negative feed back please
i can't decide what route to go with the lift on my truck so instead of reading what people liked about their lifts i want to see what was disliked or what would be changed about their decision. any regrets about manufacturer or style of lift? i also should state i am looking into leveling kits or 4" lifts. thanks in advance, dan

I have a 4" Rancho that I don't like.......appears that the springs are sagging, rides a little bit rough, and the shocks are junk now with 15k on them. Hope to get this off and a better one on as soon as possible......
Hope this helps.

There's a lot of good tech info here, but we like to have a little fun now and then too.

Even though I have some serious concerns, It is my opinion that the springs used by Donahoe racing's edge kit are still the best spring lift available. It should be noted that he purchases these springs from Deaver spring.You can buy straight from Deaver and save some........uh............time and then put the rest of your lift together. If you want a six inch I can get you a great price on a set of these springs for your sd.

Dam Waxy that was good one 
sprbeast, I run a SL lift, have had no problems what so ever, and I drag around a snow plow for 5 months out of the year and still no front spring sag. I will offer this, I did not use their shocks or sway bar link brackets.

Tell me about it sprbeast.
I just thought I had enough saved up to finally put a levelling kit on my truck as a Christmas present to myself.
Well, the fiancee decided to back into a Mazda to the tune of $1000, so there went that idea.
Not even a scratch on the SD though.
Good luck with getting it all fixed and gettin' that truck lifted.

nothing bad to say about the companies that i have had actual experience with (fabtech, superlift, skyjacker, rancho).
this is a great idea.... keeps the wannabes from telling their miss cleo stories.

I have a 3" hanger kit. To do it again, I would have found a more complete kit that included: adjustable trac bar, swaybar links, and Bilstein shocks.
While my kit now is complete, I would have perferred to pay for all the parts at once.
