lift kit question???
What parts all come in a skyjacker stage II 6" lift. I know there are extended radius arms, and rear springs, but does it come with a transfer case drop bracket, brake lines, shocks, or any steering upgrades? Am leaning toward getting one as soon as I have the money, but just wanted a little more info first. Thanks.

I got a 6" stage II kit from skyjacker about two years ago and at that time it came with radius arms, blocks for the rear, pitman arm, front brackets, spring for the front. Brake lines and transfer case brackets would have to be bought seperately. If you want the rear springs make sure you get the system not the kit. Hope this helps.

What vehicle do you have? I don't recall ever seeing a tcase lowered in a Ford. Most of the later (1980 on) Fords have the tcase connected directly to the tranny tailshaft, so there is no way to lower it.

He's right, no T/C drop bracket. With skyjacker's "kit", you get drop radius arms, axle pivot brackets, coil springs, rear blocks, and all the hardware. With a "system" you get new rear leaf springs, extended radius arms, and I believe stronger axle pivot brackets. I would suggest the system for anything more than light off roading. The "kit" is ok for street and very light off roading. Shocks, brake lines, and i believe the pitman are are separate. Shocks, 100-120. Brake lines, 100. Pitman arm 60-70. Call NTWonline.com, I got a quote of 1500 for a complete 6" skyjacker lift "system" with shocks, brakes, everything.
*NOTE: If you have sway bars, you need drop link brackets for those on a 6" lift, not needed for a 4" lift.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds
.
That's it for mods now, saving for a Stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

My bad on the TC bracket dont know what I was thinking there. The difference in the kit and system is the rear springs. the Stage I or Stage II denotes longer radius arms or just drop brackets. Any way Skyjacker is the best way to go. Ive had mine on for two and half years now with no major problems.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. I was talking with a friend of mine that used to have a lifted truck and he had mentioned the tc drop bracket, so I just thought I would check. I also meant stage II system instead of kit, but just wasn't thinking straight. Thanks for the help.
