[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-14-03 AT 07:34 PM (EST)]i was wondering the same exact thing? how do they hold up? and which 6" kit should i get?

 

if you guys are going with the 6 inch kit then definitely get the extended radius arms not the drop brackets. i didn't know bronco graveyard manufactured a ttb suspension kit. i know they sell fabritech kits that are outrageously overpriced. how much are they asking for the ttb kits with extended radius arms and new rear springs? if your gonna do a 6 inch lift then thats the way to go, do it right the first time or you probably won't be satisfied later on. i did a four inch lift on my truck and its absolutely great but im not satisfied at all with it thats why im going SAS when schools out.

Personal opinion: I know the name isn't tossed around like Superlift, Rancho, and Skyjacker, but I am very pleased with my Tuff Country 4" lift. They change the raduis arm mounting with their extended arms which really helps with wheel travel and believe it or not, ALIGNMENT! Yes, a lift system that actually makes the IFS easier to align. The guys who aligned it after I put the lift on it said Ford should have done that instead of the silly ball joint shims and zero provisions for caster adjustment. With the new axle pivot bolts and radius arm-to-frame bolts you have +/-2.25 degrees of caster and camber adjustment. And it can be done without loosening the lower ball joints!

 

GREYSTEAK92 I'M GOING TO INSTALL THE TUFF COUNTRY 4" PERFORMANCE KIT ON MY 93 EDDIE BAUER AND WAS WONDERING IF YOU INSTALLED IT YOURSELF WAS IT DIFFICULT AND IF YOU TOOK PICS OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS AND HOW IS THE RIDE COMPARED TO STOCK

 

I installed the 4" kit myself. Took longer than I anticipated but then when its 95+ degrees outside, you can't get much accomplished before you fall over from heat exhaustion. The toughest part was the drilling but a brand new bit and plenty of cutting oil made it less painful. I think the total is 12 on the holes that need to be drilled. This was with the extended raduis arms and new brackets. I had the help of my brother and a friend (and yes, my wife too..she is standing here watching me type). We also installed new rear springs, not helpers. All in all it was a little more than a weekend worth of work but we damaged a mounting stud in the drivers raduis arm/spring mount which set us back half a day.

My 92 XLT had the tow package on it so it had both front and rear sway bars when I started. The rear one wasn't going to fit and I decided early that I wouldn't try to put it back. The front sway bar has drop brackets provided for it but I opted NOT to put it back either just to see how scary the handling was without it. To my surprise, the handling and ride was improved over stock. I didn't put my 33x12.50's on it at first and I was running 31x10.50's with the lift in place. Looked a little odd that far up with those little tires but still didn't handle badly at all. The factory quad shocks in front and the new stronger springs made a LOT of difference. I still don't take corners at 50 m.p.h. but who needs to when your center of gravity is that far off the ground? After adding the 33x12.50's, I must say that the handling and ride are not only better than stock (with two sway bars) but, my articulation is so much better than before especially in the front where there had been maybe a total of 8-10" of wheel travel. I have yet to get on and RTI ramp but I'm certain its closer to 12-14".
