superlift is great bang for buck ...can get all spring lift for $1100-$1200 ride is good as factory if not better (imo)
fabtech is supposed to ride well and good quality
skyjacker another popular brand and rides kinda stiff(so i've heard)
then you have edge,donahoe which are $$ but exceptional quality
not sure if pro comp makes an 8"
rancho makes an 8" that rides well
do a search for 8" lift kit and you should get tons.... i got the 8" superlift all spring because of the value. if lift kits were free i would get edge probably,a sthey tend to run large. hope this helps and good luck. im sure others will chime in with their opinions and possibly correct me if i have made a mistake on any of the facts

I have an 8" Fabtech Suspension and love it! It does ride a little rough, but that's why we drive pick ups! TOPFLOR is right in line with the prices. Make sure you use good shocks when you do this. I have a friend that thought he was saving money and went with some lessor quality shocks. Now, a year and a half later he's looking at sagging springs. That will happen over time, but is less likely to happen as fast if you do it right. Good luck and enjoy! These pick ups are a lot of fun lifted

gotta say...love your mud flaps and especially the exhaust(what kind?). i either want dual 45 deg tips, turn downs or some stacks. no $$ yet though. and kudos on the shocks...i have the stock superlift shocks and they are junkSiyé

Thank you! It's kind of a funny deal on the exhaust. I got the 4" kit (from the delete pipe back) with the muffler for $150.00 through NAPA. I had the tail pipe and tip built for $200.00 (muffler back). So I have $350.00 in the exhaust. I'm considering removing the muffler all together 
I spent a lot of time looking at different tip outs....there's a lot of ugly ones available....and not very many that really looked good. The tip is built by Magnaflow. I had the flaps custom built by Hogebuilt and since that pic have added the hard to find aerobic women (spread eagle instead of the ones that lay back) over the Pete oval.
