Your best choice of Suspension

Okay, based on Affordibility,Cost & Quality.
If making a list of suspension lifts for the common guy / gal
say a once a month (not hard core) 4 wheeler thats enjoys
getting out and playing but not to the piont that when you
get back you have 1-2-3 months of fixin up to do. This list
might help some of us be alittle more understanding to the
needs of a casual 4 wheeler vs. hard core wheeler break your
equipment types,(nothin wrong with that). and feel free to
specify qualities of your first choice of lift. This is not a test
just an information gathering subject.

Do we reeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllllllly have to go through this AGAIN? We've answered this repeatedly on this forum and on others, plus there are hundreds of other posts that can be found with a simple search. Holy crappoly we're beating a dead horse here! It really sounds to me like you don't like the answers you were given in other posts and you have your own opinions so you're going to keep asking until someone tells you what you want to hear.

Yes, there is a place you can go for research. It's www.ford-trucks.com. They have several forums there. One is the offroad forum. I have heard a lot of guys on that forum have used Skyjacker springs and know a little bit about them. If you try searching on that site perhaps you could find out what you need to know.

Otherwise you could always go and just buy whatever lift you think is the best since that's what it looks like you're planning to do anyway. If you need help making that final decision just post up what brand YOU want to buy and we'll all second that and post up "Oh, yeah . . . XXXX brand springs are the best EVER! Good choice!"

raw, thats 20 minutes of your life you will never get back

please.... enough with the 'which lift kit is best' questions! i think everyone here knows what the general consensus is!

skyjacker is top quality.... thats not to say tuff country, rancho, superlift, etc will not suffice! yourt money, your truck. if it were me all over again i wouldn't waste the cash and i would build my own! but i do have a lil bit of experience under, over, and through my belt!
