I've never seen a kit before with the i-beam and traction bar "drop" hangers. I've only seen them come with new i-beams and traction bars. Those kits run around $1100 from what I've seen.

I'm a little confused about what exactly this kit is supposed to lift - 4x2 F-150s or Broncos?

Lift kits come with drop brackets for the TTB arms and for the radius arms. The good ones come with extended radius arms. I've never heard of a lift that comes with new I-beams.

I would avoid a kit that doesn't include extended radius arms and which does include lift blocks for the rear. My opinion is that you're not going to be happy with the way this comes out if you go with this kit.

Thanks for your response, Andy.

I just spotted it and saw the price. I've got a buddy that's looking to lift his truck and he's got me looking for him a good deal.

I was thinking I've seen kits with new i-beams, but maybe I'm thinking about lowering kits...

I think you can order a kit from them for a 2-4WD F-Series or Bronco for that price. That's how I understood it, anyway.

Yeah, that's just for lowered trucks.

I would keep looking for a quality lift. You get exactly what you pay for, and a lift is no place to skimp on quality.
