Skyjacker 8" lift
I've been reading through this site for a few days now. I found a lot of useful information, but still not what I'm looking for. If I missed it somewhere, please let me know.
I want to know if I should use the Skyjacker 8" on my 94 C-150 (Centurion). I know the SAS is the way to go, but that would mean putting my Bronco up on blocks lol, and coming up with twice the amount of cash as the Skyjacker. Also, corrent me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't I still need some of the parts from the Skyjacker kit if I do the SAS (coils and leaves)? If that's the case, then I can use the 8" to run my 35's and then later do the SAS and go up to 39's. Yeah, I know I can get 35's in there with the 6", but I'm running the 17.5 wide M/T Bajas on 14" wide wheels, plus I'm going to keep my integrated running board flares (I know, I'm and idiot lol) just to keep me leagal for awhile and keep a step in there.
So what kind of feedback is out there on the 8" kit? Anyone have any problems? Anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks for all your help

Plan on eating up front tires quickly and having a lot of alignment issues if you're not going SAS. Your front tires will look like this \\ // I've seen a quite a few TTB trucks with 6+" of lift and they all had a lot of front end trouble, even with the drop brackets for the center.
