Sounds much better!!! I figured if he was gonna get rear springs add another $350 plus the Bilsteins. Not a good deal at all. I still like the 8" Edge installed for $2,200.

Have you seen what skyjacker wants for their 8" system? It is like 1,700 dollars w/o shocks!!!

The cheapest price I've seen in California for the 8" SL spring $1243.99 not including labor nor dual steering stabilizer bar with the NEW Superlift flamed logo. Not to mention labor and tax. Show me were to get this set up any cheaper in CA? Not to mention the Superlift Tru Speed Sensor Calibrator is included in the package. $1340.00 includes everything mention..... I know some people just pay to much...... It's ok....

As for the ride.....It performs in the mud REALLY good...but the street ride bounces and you feel all the bumps...there's a pick in my gallery.
Thanks for the info. Your truck looks awsome! What type of wheel and tire combo on the Superduty?

Most people would not admit there truck bounces a lot with the all around spring set up. But I really appreciate your honest and truthfull opinion.

i have there springs up front and they are the best bang for the buck.. make sure your getting the "select series" 10 leafs packs.. for real smooth ride.... If you can afford it.. look at EDGE.. similiar quality as superlift.. but all parts "made in america".. .thats always good to support.. specially these days... when i got my Superlift parts.. there were stamped "made in INDIA"..
had i known that i would have bought the EDGE springs over the superlift..they are significantly more though..... if money is an issue you be pleased with superlift.. i had skyjacker springs before.. they were too rough.. the superlifts are about as smooth as stock if not better.. there great.
JJ

Hmmmmm.....who wanted a smoother ride.........ahhhaa the Mr. Chevy IFS HD Don't install the Skyjacker Springs too rough.

PUUUUUULLLLLEEEEAAAAZZZEEEEE....... All of your lifts stink and were way too expensive. The "unspoken" lift company has the softest ride around. Right, Stroker?!Get a clue. And anytime you boys want to fling some mud at Azusa, give me a call and I'll show you to do it.
