All spring...Fabtech and Superlift...dunno if Skyjacker has all spring yet. Ooh, and if you've got the dough and the need for a nosebleed...12" lift springs from National Spring, oh yeah!!

The kits mentioned by Munkey are all good kits. If you are undecided between a 6" or 8" lift, I would sugest the 8". Most people, including myself that go 6" wish they went 8".
Will you be doing the install?

Disclaimer: The following is my personal opinion based on first hand knowledge. These comments are not intended to demean or disrespect any member of this forum.

Godzilla250v10,

You worked hard for your money so be sure that you get your money's worth. Having installed just about every kit currently on the market, I would suggest you go with an Edge kit. For example, last week I had 2 F250 CC SWB trucks in my shop. We did a Skyjacker 6" kit on one and an Edge 6" kit on the other. We then set both trucks up with 36/14.5 Dirt Gripz on 12" Welds. When it was all said and done, the Edge truck sat 1 3/4" taller and rode very near stock. The Skyjacker truck, had rubbing issues and rode stiff. From Edge you will get the full claimed lift, as well as much better ride quality. Furthermore, Edge's springs are guaranteed not to sag FOR LIFE.

The Skyjacker customer spent about $500 less but if you ask me the Edge customer got more for his money.

Hope this helps.
