i have the Donahoe 4.5" spring hanger kit. it is a little on the expensive side, but it's the best IMO. $1400 with bilstein 5100's but it reatains the stock spring ride and capacity, but the shocks make ride a whole lot better.

i agree with strokin. i hade that same lift on my truck for a littler over a year. i took it off and sold it because of diesel prices and i am moving to colorado soon but when i lift it again i think i will get the donahoe 3'' system. it is easier to install and a bunch cheaper. also i thought the 4.5'' lift was just a little too big IMO. if you want to see a bunch of lifted superdutys check out www.superdutyheadquarters.com.

4.5" DR for the best on road ride (hanger and shackle).
4" DR if you plan on off roading a good amount (leaf springs)


Let me know if you have any questions on either setup.
